Hounslow Hurricanes Swim Squad

We are a competitive swimming club that is based mainly at Isleworth Recreation Centre, however we do also train at Heston on Thursdays and Feltham Airparcs on Sundays. The Hurricanes cater for a large range of swimmers, from those just starting out to those who wish to compete in county or National competitions. Occasionally we also see the likes of International swimmers who like to come back to the place that they started or just to train when their club has a break. Because of the wide range of swimming ability that is apparent at the club, there is four different sections; The Dolphins, The Super Dolphins, B Squad and A Squad. Below is a short description of each of the squads that Hounslow Hurricanes currently run.

The Dolphins

For young swimmers who are just starting out. The minimum requirement for The Dolphins is one length of a 25m swimming pool such as Isleworth, Feltham or Heston. Swimmers will be taught to swim all four of the competitive strokes (Butterfly, Backstroke, Breaststroke and Freestyle). Times of the sessions are available on the sessions page of this website.

The Super Dolphins

Super Dolphins is for swimmers who have learnt all four strokes and can swim them confidently. This is where they are prepared for the training of B Squad. Once again the details of the sessions available for the Super Dolphins can be found on the sessions page.

B Squad

B Squad is where swimmers are prepared for competitive swimming. They are taught competitive starts and turns and have their strokes developed even further. Swimmers in B Squad usually enter many competitions throughout the swimming year, in and around the London area at places such as Barnet, Ealing, Enfield and Windsor. They can also compete in Speedo League and Interborough competitions which can be further a field (usually travelled to by coach) Details of session times are once again available on the sessions page.

A Squad

This is where B Squad swimmers who have progressed will end up. Swimmers in A Squad also enter competitions close to home but also travel further away to places such as Bournemouth, Newcastle, Portsmouth or Sheffield. Swimmers in A Squad are competing to achieve Southern County times which means they can compete against the top swimmers from all of the clubs in the Southern Counties of England. Once this has been achieved the next target is National times which allows the swimmers to race against the top swimmers from all over the country. The training session details are available on the sessions page of the website.
