Open Performance Squad

The Open Performance Squad sits within the NSC Performance Stream and provides coaching and support for proven National level athletes who are training to compete at Australian Open National and International Trial events, including Australian Junior National Teams.

Athletes are required to commit to the training schedule as set out by the coach and be able to train at the required level. Individual requirements are determined by the squad coach, based on age, personal goals/aspirations, swimming background and ability.

Entry into the squad is by invitation from the Coach of the Open Performance Squad, in consultation with the Senior Coaching Team. Squad re-selections will be completed after the major performance championships each year.

Athletes are primarily 16 years of age and over and expected to attend 8-9 sessions per week, as well as attend competitions as per the competition calendar.

Athletes in Open Performance Squad must be NSC club members on Swim Central.
