Achievement awards
Our members swim for all sorts of reasons: some just for fun, some for fitness, some to see their friends, some to compete and some for other reasons. Most, probably, for a combination of these. Whatever your motive for swimming, it is good to have goals. The club has a set of speed awards to help swimmers measure their progress.
Speed awards
Swimmers aged 12 & under are eligible for bronze, silver and gold speed awards in each event, according to the table of times here. The times are not age sensitive.
If you have any queries about the speed awards, or your swimmer’s progress generally, please do talk to the coach. Although the coaches look busy, they will always do their best to make time for discussion with parents and swimmers.

If you think your swimmer has earned a speed award but you haven’t heard about it, please speak to one of the coaches or to Caroline. There is so much else to do with galas, that sometimes they get overlooked. Almost everyone involved with the club is a volunteer: more help is always appreciated!
