How it Works
The aim of Swim Club is for swimmers to improve their own times.
Strokes
Swimmers compete in up to 3 events each night, and rotate swim strokes on a 4 week cycle:
- Week 1
Any two freestyle distances plus one backstroke distance - Week 2
Any two freestyle distances plus one breaststroke distance - Week 3
Any two freestyle distances plus one butterfly distance - Week 4
Any two freestyle distances plus one individual medley distance
Distances
Events are run in a range of distances suitable for swimmers of all levels: 17m, 25m, 33m, 50m, 100m, and 200m.
Points
