Regional Pathway

The new Canterbury West Coast Squad Pathway highlights a clear appreciation of the behaviours involved in reaching the top of our sport - the Olympic Games.

This pathway will replace the current Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum Squad structure.

We aim to give swimmers who meet the criteria an opportunity to access the necessary training support and overseas racing experience. With four years to the LA 2028, and eight to the Brisbane 2032 Olympics, these are our primary focus.

The Target 2028 and Target 2032 Squads will include regular training sessions together, approximately once per month on a Saturday morning, with a team breakfast and performance sport specific education after the pool training sessions.

Upcoming team tours include:

  • Wellington Championships

  • Victoria Open Championships

  • USA West Coast
