The Albany Creek Leisure Centre Squad Program has seen a great deal of development and enjoyed much success over the last couple of years.
This success has even been recognised by SWIMMING AUSTRALIA, as the Albany Creek Leisure Centre Squad Program was recently selected to be part of the Swimming Mentor Program.
Only 18 Swim Clubs across the country have been selected to be a part of this program (4 in QLD) and it has been aimed at clubs who demonstrate the potential to be able to produce athletes who can compete at an International level.
Doug Frost, former coach of Ian Thorpe, will be making regular visits to the Centre, one of the many advantages of this new and exciting Swim Australia Program.
To receive such recognition is fantastic and it definitely highlights

NEW DEVELOPMENTS:
-
Coaches will inform children when they think that they may be ready to make the progression from one squad into the next. A two week transition period (trial) must take place first. At the conclusion of the 2 weeks the coach will inform the parents of the child if they are ready to make the desired transition. If the child is not quite ready then the coach will let the parents and the child know what areas still need to be improved
-
A coaching Assessment scheme has been devised and will begin in December. This scheme will inform parents of their child’s progress in squads and keep them regularly updated. The assessment will cover all strokes, skills and behavior.
