Points Explained

Club night points

Times are recorded for every swimmer at club nights and points are allocated in accordance with the points table. These points determine recipients at the presentation afternoon at the end of the season. 

New Swimmers: The time from the first swim in each stroke will become the base time.

Returning Swimmers: Last season’s club best time will be used as the new base time for the new season.

When a current season personal best time is recorded, this will become the new base time.
