Squad Information

Copeland ASC has its main base at the Hensingham pool in Whitehaven. The club also uses the pool at the West Lakes Academy, Egremont, run by the Egremont Pool Trust.

The club operates a squad structure and this provides an appropriate level of teaching/coaching for all swimming abilities.

In order to help as many swimmers as possible reach their full potential in competitive swimming, each group/squad has its own entry criteria and its own aims and objectives. Progression through the club squads is generally:

  1. LTSS (Learn to Swim Scheme) from 5 years of age. (Following ASA national plan, in blocks of 10 weeks).
  2. Join D squad
  3. Join C quad
  4. Join B squad
  5. Join A squad
