Fitness Squad Overview

Surrey Park Swimming Club was establised in 1904 in the old quarry (Surrey Dive) in Surrey Park, where local footballers used swimming as a form of cross training to improve their strength and fitness. Our Fitness Squads follow the same core principals that first established the club over 100 years ago.

Surrey Park Fitness squads are for individuals who are already compentent swimmers and provides an opportuntity for them to:

  • Refine their swimming skills and technique, whilst improving their stamina
  • Improve Fitness. Most sports involve a certain amount of cardiovascular fitness for peak performance. Swimming can greatly improve your cardiovascular strength, power, and efficiency, which will add a new dimension to your athletic performance and overall health.
  • Enhance Recovery. Assuming that you are performing regular high intensity workouts, mixing in light workouts in the water can enhance your muscle recovery to prepare you for the next level of competition.
  • Prevent Injuries. Overuse injuries are often the culprit of aerobic sports but can also affect those athletes who play their respective sport twelve months per year. Muscle imbalance, biomechanical errors, and inadequate recovery are just a few of causes of chronic or recurrent musculoskeletal injuries in sports. You can avoid over-training by substituting swimming for other sport specific workouts.
