Club Tier
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
Browse the pods
Each pod has a handle ('Dolphins', 'Orcas') and a Pod Lead. Pick one with room and a vibe you like — or get matched during onboarding.
Meet your Pod Lead
Not a coach — an experienced Club member who runs your Saturday session, holds rhythm midweek, and keeps your crew accountable.
Show up Saturday
Three hours, same pool, same crew. Warm-up, main set, debrief, social. This is the anchor — everything else is bonus.
Track and earn
Attendance streaks, time trials, skill ladders. Your progress shows up on your public profile as you go.
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
The default plan — pay every three months, no fee stacking, no Community add-on.
Want to commit longer?
Save ₦5,000 vs paying quarterly
Save ₦20,000 vs paying quarterly
There's no standalone 1-month plan — the only "free first month" of Club is the one that comes bundled with Academy graduation.
Coming from Academy?
Your first month of Club is already included in your Academy fee. You graduate on a Saturday and you're on the deck with your club crew the next Saturday — no payment, no decision. The quarterly rate kicks in from month two.
No fee stacking — Club includes everything Community offers (₦20,000/year as a standalone), so you don't pay both tiers separately.
Lead a Pod
