Each child swims in three (3) or four (4) races each club night (one distance per stroke). There are three groupings of races based on times– white/blue/gold.
As a general guide:
White = can swim 25m but may find 50m a challenge
Blue = can swim 50m comfortably
Gold = swims 50m fast
Swimmers may swim a mix of white, blue or gold races depending on their times for the stroke.
Swimmers can progress through each grouping throughout the year as their times improve.
Distances are for White/Blue/Gold distances unless otherwise specified.
