Squads

At Maxwell and our partner clubs our aim is to enable every swimmer to reach their full potential so we closely follow the ASA recommendations on the quality and quantity of training for all our squads. In particular Maxwell follows the guidelines and recommendation of the ASA Long Term Athlete Development program.

LTAD is about achieving optimal training, competition and recovery throughout an athletes career, particularly in relation to the important growth and development of young people. As its name implies, its a long term approach and if not adopted a swimmer is unlikely to ever reach their full potential. To find out more click the link to read the ASA short guide to LTAD.

The Maxwell Training Programme Structure

Below illustrates the full structure of the squads of Maxwell, Maxwell Swans & our significant partners Tring & Buckingham Swans Swim Clubs. All the cells COLOURED BLUE are “Maxwell Swim Club” controlled which means all the swimmers are full Maxwell members. All the cells COLOURED YELLOW are squads controlled by Tring or Buckingham swimming clubs respectively and the swimmers are all dual registered to Maxwell. (Please note that the Maxwell Head Coach is also the ‘Head of Coaching’ at Tring Swim Club).

These squads train at varying venues such as the Aqua Vale, Swan Pool, Stoke Mandeville Stadium, The Grammar School Pool & Tring Sports Centre Pool. A swimmer moves between squads that best suit each swimmer’ current level, aspirations and is in line with the specific squad criteria within each squad/club.
