Pro Squad

Lead Coach: Mark Rose

Our Pro Squad mission is to be the best we can be and be all into our self-improvement. We will reduce all
negative performance influences and do all we can to be the best version of ourselves. We make
no apologies for being obsessive and relish this journey.

As part of this group, you will have access to 9 pool sessions a week at the world famous Manchester Aquatics Centre and access to supportive land work.

The Squad works with a variety of staff to support including;
Performance Analysis, Strength and Conditioning, Physiology, Physiotherapy and Yoga and Sport Psychology.

We partner with the university teams throughout the City of Manchester Swim Team and the PRO
Squad is embedded in this. If you are a student, we expect delivery for your University at BUCS and
World University Games and work to support this.

The coaching team will direct and support you as you develop your skills as an international
swimmer.

To support this, as part of the programme we will take you to train overseas twice per year, race
overseas at least once and then for those at an appropriate level, take the swimmers to race two
legs of the Mare Nostrum Circuit, or equivalent. Those that are not quite ready for that, we will
provide appropriate racing that develops you around this.

Entry Requirements
Swimmers are required to apply in writing to Head Coach, Mark Rose (m.rose@mcractive.com)
Please provide some background to your curren performance and training, your aspirations and why you feel our environment of ‘all in’ would be good for you and why you would be a good fit for us.

You may then be asked to interview to discuss this further.

The group accepts applications for swimmers and para swimmers alike.
We have had consistent success in both areas.

This is a group of professional swimmers who can access full time training and the resources needed
to support them.
