Squads Progression
PRE SQUAD
Bangkok Dolphins Pre-Squad is our first introduction into squad training for our swimmers. The vast majority of our Pre-Squad swimmers will have come from and completed our Bangkok Dolphins Learn-To-Swim Program.
BLUE SQUAD
Bangkok Dolphins Blue Squad is where our swimmers are first introduced to slightly more intensive sets, however technique and skill set development always remain our main focus as all our swimmers still require much more development on their strokes. Blue Squad swimmers are expected to compete in swim meets and show enthusiasm for the sport.
SILVER
Bangkok Dolphins Silver Squad swimmers have either achieved Thai National Qualifying Times or are very close to them. They take competitive swimming very seriously and compete on a regular basis
Training Requirements – Two sessions a week.
JUNIOR SQUAD
Bangkok Dolphins Junior Squad mainly focuses on technique and building on the skill sets learnt and developed from Pre-Squad whilst introducing slightly longer distances.
BRONZE
Bangkok Dolphins Bronze Squad swimmers take competitions more seriously and look to race on a regular basis. We offer our swimmers regular competitions through school swim meets and Thailand Amateur Swimming Association (TASA) club meets.
GOLD
Bangkok Dolphins Gold Squad swimmers are usually teens that compete at the highest level of International, TASA and their school teams. Gold Squad focuses on each swimmer’s understanding of Energy Systems, Technique and Race Strategy.
