Swimming

It’s about quality time in the water. Nothing can be achieved from the side of the pool.

We expect our athletes to attend a minimum of 80% of the prescribed sessions.

Failure by them to meet this objective will result in failure by them in reaching their goals.

Coaching

Well we have the best. From Alisdair Hatfield (40 years experience) and 8 Olympic swimmers to his credit and Debbie Lockett who has achieved many accolades through her swimmers, both at Provincial and National level, to Erica herself an accomplished Provincial swimmer, passing on vital skills to our Learn to Swim and junior groups.

The coaching for the promising juniors to the seniors is managed on a scientific basis to optimize performances of the athlete. Underwater videoing of the swimmers is also done to ensure maximum stroke proficiency.

Triathlon

One of the fastest growing sports in South Africa with Ironman and the half Ironman having created unprecedented interest and participation in this sport. Again Scats lead from the front with 2 of our members having been selected to compete at the World Championships in Tampa, USA. They also were selected for the South African biathlon team.

Services

Not only do we focus on the growth of our athletes and our club we are very aware of the need for our Province to grow. In this regard we expect every family to provide at least one volunteer to do the time keeping duty at “A” League galas. As our swimmers put in so much effort and time, the least we can do is to ensure that we give them a professional platform in which to compete.
