SWIMMERS MUST BE AGED 8+ AND ABLE TO SWIM 100m (4 lengths) CONTINUOUS FRONT CRAWL WITH HEAD IN WATER OR HAVE PASSED THE 'LEARN TO SWIM STAGE 7 AWARD'. These are not 'learn to swim' sessions. All new swimmers will need to be assessed by one of our coaches at their first session. There will be 4 lanes with up to 6 Juniors in each, depending on abilities. The lanes are coached as Lane 1 - 1 coach, Lane 2 - 1 coach, Lane 3&4 - 1 coach. This allows for good coach:swimmer ratios and more individual attention for the juniors. The sessions include front crawl technique drills and a main set, distance varies per lane with a few minutes for other skills or challenges at the end. The content of the sessions may vary with each lane. The aim is to improve each Juniors' ability to swim with progression through the lanes into Lane 4 and then progress into our Progression Swim Sessions at the Hewett Academy on Wednesday evenings and also into our Open Water Swim Sessions at Whitlingham Lake. Once Juniors reach 18 years of age they can join our adult sessions. More information:
  • Meeting point is at the pool side fire door entrance/exit.
  • Please do not forget to bring your membership card as it contains emergency contact details as well as medical info.
  • All swimmers please come 'swim ready' so they can get changed on the poolside. This is because another Junior swimming club use the pool before us and will be using the changing rooms as our Juniors arrive. If your junior also attends our run session beforehand - many of our juniors run with their swimming kit or a Trisuit on underneath their running kit.
  • We require a 'parent to coach' handover at the start and end of each session. If your junior is attending the swim session only, please bring your Junior to the coaches at the fire exit pool door and collect them from the main pool door at the end of the swim session. To adhere to British Triathlon Safeguarding policies, we do not allow Juniors to walk to and from the car park on their own, unless they are over 16 and written permission has been requested and accepted by our coaching team.

All Junior Tri-Anglia members, new to the club or those who have been members for years and previously swam in our Summer open water sessions, will need to complete a new competency test, safety briefing and parental permission forms BEFORE they swim. Please read our 2026 Junior Open Water Policy 2026 Junior OW Rules_Policy for all Juniors swimming in our Summer Open Water sessions. This document gives guidance for different age brackets and specifies how Juniors can access the lake, swimming Accompanied or Unaccompanied. Competency tests with our coaches must be booked and are available on certain Saturday mornings. You will find them listed on the Junior training page. If you can't see any tests listed, please email: Juniorcoaches@tri-anglia.co.uk to request a test.
