This is the entry level of the competitive programme. The focus is for swimmers to learn about competitive swimming skills and strokes. Children entering this level should have some swimming ability. Aims of the programme include the development of competitive strokes, drills, starts, turns and the use of a pace clock. Swimming goals include establishing a time in all your strokes as a basis of competition. Swimmers learn to "compare yourself to yourself" and every time you race to strive for a personal best time (PBT).

The coach for this group will be a NCCP level 1 coach or equivalent.

The Thresher sharks train for 2 hours per week.
