New members are welcome to join us when places are available in the training squads and provided that they meet the entry criteria for those squads.

As a member you will have access to top class coaching, quality water time and the opportunity to embark on a structured programme of competition that will take you as far as wish to or are able to go - remember; our swimmers have reached the Olympics before now!

Junior Swimmers with the City of Bradford Swimming Club will aim to progress through the different squads - which increase in the amount of training offered and the intensity of training as you reach the higher levels.

This is to give you an idea of the structure of the training groups within the club and how you could progress as your swimming abilities develop under the careful tutelage of our qualified coaches.

There are currently two review points each year at Coaches Forums, where all of the Clubs swimmers progress is reviewed. Promotions are considered - subject to the coaches judgment and the criteria shown in the diagram. The aim is to make sure that everyone is training and swimming is at a suitable level for them.
