Every year the competitive season runs in parallel to the academic calendar year, and in Westport the swimming year is broken into three separate terms from September to Christmas, Christmas to Easter, and Easter to Summer. New swimmers focus on swimming fundamentals and the acquisition of swimming skills, with our development coach Peggy Dever, while our more experienced swimmers focus on learning to train, training to train and training to win, with lead coach Barry Robinson. Our weekly timetable is detailed below:
