Fitness Squad Programme
Evolution Aquatics provides support for other aquatic codes with many members involved in Surf Lifesaving, Water-polo, Canoe-polo, Triathlon, Synchronised Swimming and Underwater Hockey. For some members, competitive swimming takes a back seat to their chosen aquatic sport. Fitness allows members to train at a level comparable to their competitive peers and allows for the different periodisation needs their primary sport may have. Fitness attendance is flexible with swimmers able to swim across multiple squads as they need.

The majority of the squad information can be located on the website. Information regarding our squad programmes for Fitness squads can be located under the Squad Programmes Tab (pricing is there as well) and our current timetables are loaded under the Timetable and Competition calendar.

In summer our squads swim out of 4 pools – Otumoetai, Greerton, Memorial and Windermere and in winter the Memorial pool is closed.

Our squad membership terms and conditions are located under the Forms and Policies tabs. All EVO squads members need to pay our monthly squad fee as well as their own pool entry. This can be paid to the pool receptions on a casual basis or by purchasing a squad concession card or aquatics membership (the later of the two are generally more cost effective cheaper, this card can be used for all three Bayvenue run pools).

If someone is keen to join our Fitness squads, please email Evo with any questions. Generally a coach will need to assess them first to see which Fitness squad would suit them best
