Sapphire Squad is the second level within our competitive swimming pathway, designed for swimmers who are building consistency in training and progressing toward stronger racing performance.

At this stage, swimmers continue to refine technique across all four strokes while developing speed, endurance and race execution. Training becomes more structured and performance-focused, supporting swimmers as they work toward achieving Metro and State qualifying times.

With guidance from experienced coaches, swimmers develop a deeper understanding of pacing, race preparation and competitive environments. Regular training supports improved efficiency, confidence and resilience in the water.

Swimmers in Sapphire Squad train a minimum of three sessions per week and are required to be active members of the Castle Hill RSL Dolphins Swim Club, strengthening both their commitment to training and connection to the team.

This stage supports swimmers who are ready to train with greater focus and continue progressing within the competitive pathway.
