NEW EXCITING DEVELOPMENT SQUADS FOR 2023\/24!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With a new Development Convenor, the 2023 Development Squads are brand new and bigger and better than ever. Luke Bibby brings some exciting new ideas for you this year…. stay tuned for more information!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Also, keep an eye on our calendar on the homepage because exciting Development activities will appear there first!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The health and wellbeing of our swimmers, volunteers, officials, coaches and spectators will always be paramount.  We ask for your support in our efforts to prevent the spread of disease and be vigilant in your personal hygiene, social distancing and avoid attending our activities if unwell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Squads in 2023\/24<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

SMNE is dedicated to recognising and rewarding dedicated swimmers in our Area and therefore heavily subsidizes Development activities.  Our Development Squad activities allow swimmers with a range of abilities from within our Area the chance to further their skills and knowledge of swimming, whilst making new friends and receiving advice from a variety of coaches and professionals in their field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MNE Swimmers and Coaches should self assess the correct squad for each swimmer according to the selection criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Numbers for each squad are strictly limited and applications will automatically close when full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SMNE has different squads based on age and ability.   All Swimmers must hold current financial Primary Club membership with a Metro North East Club.  Swimmers who don’t meet this criteria will be removed without a refund.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
