Performance

Our Performance squad is split into an A and B group.  The A group do almost all of their training at Crystal Palace under the Beacon programme.  The B group do half of their training under the Beacon Development programme and half at Wandsworth with the National Squad.  Both groups represent our top swimmers and it is a significant achievement to be selected for these groups.  The Beacon Programme is run by the ASA at Crystal Palace and promotion to our Performance Squads is subject to acceptance into the Beacon Programme by the Beacon Head Coach.
