Each year title sponsors of Skandia Geelong Week offer competing crews the opportunity to participate in the regatta as part of a subsidized Skandia Squad.

The Squad allows crews an opportunity to be a special entrant at the regatta and be sponsored by Skandia, with crew clothing, boat branding, allocated berthing, free entry and an invite to one of Skandia’s VIP functions. Past Squad members have been suitably impressed by the whole experience and encourage participation… “If you become part of the Skandia Squad, you’re in for a ride you will always remember!” Stuart Minchin, ‘Need for Speed’ Skandia Passion.

For those interested in this opportunity, entering is easy; crews must be representative of one of Skandia’s core values – Courage, Passion, Commitment, Creativity and Contribution.

To be a member of the Squad, applicants must apply by describing how they fit a particular Skandia value. They must also identify what their crew has done in the past 12 months that represents one of the Skandia values, in terms of benefiting the wider community.
