OUR SQUAD PROGRAMS
Our squads cater to a wide range of swimmers, from young beginners graduating from learn to swim/TCS to competitive athletes chasing personal bests.

With structured squads, expert coaching and a strong focus on progression, Hervey Bay Swimming Club offers a pathway for every swimmer. We value teamwork, personal growth and creating a positive, inclusive environment for all.
Our squad sessions are based on monthly attendance, swimmers are welcome to attend as many sessions within the month as they like. We also offer convenient pay-as-you-go options for casual attendance. We understand the juggle of multiple swimmers! Families receive a 10% discount for their second swimmer, 20% for their third (does not apply for PAYG/holiday program). All registrations and payments are completed via the online portal.
