Squad Transitions

As we bring in our new Squad Structure, we are also introducing clear criteria to be achieved in order to be considered to be moved between squads. Typically there are multiple criteria, a number of which need to be met. This gives the leeway to still progress while a swimmer continues to work on 1 weakness. For example a certain time cycle for a kick set is required, however if you are a weak kicker you can still achieve other criteria and be considered for moving up a squad.
