Bracknell and Wokingham Swimming Club run 11 squads, which follow on from our academy section all the way through to Masters. There are two streams to our club: Elite and Competitive.

In the elite stream all swimmers are striving for County, Regional or National competitions and therefore must adhere to 60 – 65% of the total training hours offered to each squad.
For those swimmers who can’t commit to this level of training we have the competitive stream who compete at level 2 and level 3 meets and have a more flexible structure to their training.

Our academy structure starts at level 5 and progresses through to Pre-squads, where swimmers are prepared for the competitive or elite structures.
