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.
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.
Torpedo’s is the bridging squad for swimmers aged 10 years and under who have graduated from Trojan Talent and are now ready to train with consistent 100 m technique, stronger endurance, and sharper race skills. At this stage swimmers learn to take ownership of their training: reading the pace-clock and act as a team by giving constructive feedback to lane-mates.
Trojan Trail Blazers is for swimmers who show both endurance, technique, race skills, and personal responsibility. Athletes here strive to be “better than yesterday,” taking charge of their own improvement while modelling leadership for younger squads.
The Titans Squad is for swimmers who have outgrown Trojan Trailblazers group by age or skill level but still need one more developmental step before entering a higher-performance pathway. We expect at this point, swimmers want to race, commit to regular training, and show the discipline needed to progress further.
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.
