GOswim Academy

Knox Leisureworks offer squad training for you to further your swimming technique improvement. Whether you want to improve your swimming capabilities for recreation or competitive swimming goals.

The swim squad program, known as GOswim Academy is a fun and educational way to introduce children to the wonderful world of competitive swimming. Boosting your fitness and swimming ability among adults and kids for open water or other competitive events.

What are the benefits of joining a squad?

The benefits of swimming training go far beyond enjoying swimming with friends, joining a squad has many physical, mental and emotional benefits. Swimming training can help increase strength, muscular endurance, overall flexibility and cardiovascular conditioning.

Joining a swim squad will improve swimming technique, teach patience and individual goal setting. The social environment can also help better mental health, increase confidence and most importantly, participants will have fun!

What is GOswim Academy?

Developed in partnership with industry experts, GOswim Academy forms a part of the GOswim program.

Helping kids across Australia develop their swimming skills at a pace that’s right for them. Here at Knox Leisureworks we want to increase participation in swimming in a fun and engaging way!
 
Research has revealed that thousands of kids stop swimming because it stops being fun.

Industry experts and the GOswim Academy program have developed a mixture of offerings to encourage continued participation in aquatic activity through competitive and reactional lap swimming.
 
This is an exciting program where kids across Australia can have fun with their friends and improve their swimming in a safe, social and non-competitive environment.

The Curriculum

The curriculum for this program builds on the core and foundation elements learnt in swimming and water safety education. Each skill is broken down into segmented and achievable components that streamline and refine technique and enhance the development of efficiency and endurance.

Level One

Level one is designed to continue the learning of new aquatic skills whilst refining those previously learnt swimming skills. Utilising them in a variety of simulated scenarios and aquatic disciplines.

Level Two

Level two is designed to equip the student with all the skills required to become the swimmer they want to be. Skills included in the stage cover all aquatic disciplines, water safety and recreational swimming.

Aimed at kids who have already learnt the basics of swimming, GOswim Academy is designed for students aged between the ages of 8 and 14 years old. It’s perfect for kids ready for junior squads, or for those who are interested in getting ready for the competitive swimming club environment.
