In the competitive swimming world, true success is often measured not just in medals won but in the precision and care with which talent is nurtured. The Squad structure at Trojan Sports is an intricate and personalized system designed to create Olympic-level swimmers.
If you’re a parent in Dubai with aspirations for your child to pursue swimming at a competitive Olympic level, understanding the depth and detail of this structure and enrolling your child at the right time is key.
Squad programme for kids 8 and under, linking Learn To Swim.
Trojan Talent is specifically designed for younger swimmers who can be part of our ‘Squad programme’ but still need time to grow socially, physically, and mentally.
Our primary goal is to introduce the youngest most talented swimmers to the world of competitive swimming while nurturing their love for the sport in a way that ensures it will be a lifelong passion.
We help athletes aged 9-12 develop traits such as integrity, critical thinking, communication, community engagement, family values, courage, mental fortitude, and self-confidence. These traits prepare them to face the world with purpose and resilience.
Trojans strive to be better every day, both in and out of the pool, using the Trojan Traits as their foundation.
When in the pool Trojans will learn new skills such as how to take time own times or heart rate and critically think for themselves. As with the other squad’s, speed is only built when practicing race skills. Land work becomes an integral part of training now, but still focuses on correct movement patterns.
As our swimmers progress to ages 8 to 10, we delve deeper into critical thinking, courage, friendship, accountability, self-discipline, and camaraderie.
Our aim for the Torpedo traits is to focus on emotional and social development. The swimmers will be introduced to the world of competitive swimming and work on developing essential stroke techniques and skills. Still, as the children are older and more robust, they will complete longer distances.
Once the swimmers have graduated from the Trojan Squads, they have the option to progress in to Tyneside Swimming Academy where they will be able to concentrate more on competitive swimming, working towards higher levels of competitions and dreams of the Olympics.

If the aim is the Olympics, the journey starts here, in the depths of these majestic training waters, where the squad structure sets the course for a future that shimmers with potential and possibility.
Two decades of refining the squad structure in Dubai have shown that a one-size-fits-all approach to sports no longer guarantees success. The program goes beyond stereotypical long-term athlete development models, taking personalization to new heights. It understands that each swimmer possesses unique needs, strengths, and potential trajectories, and consequently crafts individual pathways to excellence.
Training within the squad structure is not just intense; it’s intelligent. Periodization strategies are finely honed to ensure that every stroke, every lap, and every breath taken by the athlete serves a strategic purpose in their development.
Setting goals is not unique to the squad structure, but our method is far more comprehensive, involving the athlete in every step of the process. Moreover, each swimmer’s journey is meticulously tracked, analyzed, and adjusted to ensure they are on course to achieve their aspirations.
Participation in local and international competitions is crucial to the squad structure. It not only tests the swimmer’s abilities but also offers valuable exposure and experience, two indispensable ingredients for any athlete aiming for the zenith of success.
