Club Practice
Find your crew. Show up every Saturday. Get visibly better.
Club is for swimmers who want a small, persistent training crew — a pod — and a weekly anchor session that compounds over months. Peer-led, accountable, progression-tracked.

How Club Works
From sign-up to streaks, four steps
Choose a location
See the price for each pool, choose the current quarter, and optionally add future quarters. Mid-quarter prices adjust to the sessions remaining.
Complete readiness
Tell us about your water safety and swimming baseline, then complete a short, consistent in-pool assessment.
Review and pay
Your quote shows every selected quarter, annual membership if due, the optional Community Experience, and any payment charge as separate lines.
Join your pod and practise
Swim a structured weekly plan with your pod, review progress, and keep challenging your previous milestone.
Find Your Crew
Meet the Pods
Pods are small training crews of 2–5 swimmers. Pick one with room and a vibe you like — or get assigned during onboarding. Each pod has its own handle, its own Pod Lead, and a fixed Saturday session.
The Saturday Anchor
What your Saturday looks like
Same pool, same crew, every week. Three hours that anchor the rest of your training. Pod Leads can shift the day or time — but most pods land on a Saturday morning.

Your Captain — Not a Coach
The Pod Lead role
Who they are
An experienced Club member who knows the pool, the routine, and the people. Not a paid coach — a peer who's been showing up for longer than you have.
What they do
Run the Saturday session: warm-up, main set, debrief. Keep the pod chat alive midweek. Welcome new members. Hold rhythm when motivation dips.
Why it works
Peer accountability beats paid instruction for adult amateurs. Your Pod Lead has skin in the game — they're swimming alongside you, not standing on the deck.

Beyond Saturday
How the pod stays connected midweek
Saturdays are the anchor — but the pod doesn't go silent Monday to Friday. Here's how the culture works between sessions.
Pod chat on WhatsApp
Each pod has its own group chat. Quick check-ins, motivation, schedule changes.
Solo → group conversion
Going for a swim on a weekday? Post first. Two yeses and it counts as a pod swim toward your streak.
Ride-share to Saturday
Member-to-member coordination — passenger or driver — per session.
Set Your Expectations
What Club is not
Being honest up-front saves everyone a difficult conversation later.
Not a coached programme
That's Academy. Club is peer-led — your Pod Lead is an experienced member, not a paid instructor.
Not casual one-offs
That's Community. Club is a weekly commitment to your crew. Skipping Saturdays adds up — your streak knows.
Not a quick win
You'll feel meaningful change in 8–12 weeks. The ladders are there because real swim progress takes seasons, not sessions.
Pricing
What it costs
Pool and refreshment costs differ by location. If you join mid-quarter with at least five sessions remaining, your Club price is adjusted by the sessions left. With four or fewer sessions, use Community drop-ins until the next quarter.
Annual SwimBuddz Membership
₦20,000
Added only when due, in the same checkout.
Community Experience
₦30,000
Optional and selected by default for the current quarter. It is ₦40,000 for an active Club member buying later and ₦50,000 at the standard member rate.
You can add future Club quarters in the same checkout; future quarters start unselected. Each quarter creates its own entitlement and receipt line.
