A Pathway for Every Swimmer
At Newman Churchlands Swimming Club (NCSC), we offer a structured squad program for swimmers of all abilities and aspirations.
Whether your child is building their swimming skills, aiming for State or National competition, or simply wants to swim for fitness and enjoyment, our squad pathway provides opportunities for progression, development and lifelong participation in the sport.
The coaching team regularly reviews swimmer progress and squad placement to ensure every swimmer is training in the environment that best supports their ability, goals and commitment level.
