Non-Competitive Lane Training (Torpedos)

torpedo SquadS

A core value at Dolphin SC is that we cater for all swimmers at all levels - it's not just about the fastest or the strongest. In many cases, when a swimmer graduates from our Learn to Swim Program, they may wish to continue to swim regularly in quality coach-led sessions but do not wish to progress to the competitive section of the club. Accordingly, we run the TORPEDO squads for these swimmers. The TORPEDO squads do not compete at official competitions or ‘galas’ and generally train for physical fitness, swim skills development and fun. The squads are usually differentiated into specific age-groups and abilities and often may swim together under the guidance of our qualified and accredited coaches & teachers every weekend. The TORPEDOS are made up of participants who perhaps like to offer extra commitment to other sports such as GAA, dance, camogie, athletics, triathlon or gymnastics, among other activities, but all of whom like to swim for fitness, fun and the social aspect. Even if a swimmer doesn’t participate in any other sport, there is usually a spot for all our LTSP graduates in the TOPRPEDO squads.
