Selwyn Swim Club Prizegiving

The 2021/2022 swimming season has been one that Selwyn Swim Club are very proud of. A few key areas we have been particularly impressive in are our culture, performance and potential. Through a tough year of programme structure and coaching changes, further Covid19 impacted events and preparation, our team has withstood some tough challenges with the aim of representing the Selwyn Swim Club and our community to the best of their ability. Even-though racing and trainings were impacted, our swimmers and Club success were still widespread and high-achieving. We were represented at National and International Meets and there were a significant number of Club records broken across all age groups. Our Age Group Trophies are based off using XLR8 points and FINA points to determine our winners. XLR8 is a four-event score which includes a distance event (400m+), an IM event (200m+) and your next two highest scoring events. FINA points is a single event score, with the world record representing 1,000 points. • Bennett Cup - Junior Female (12& under) highest XLR8 points: Laura Menzies • Junior Male Cup highest XLR8 points: Josh Read • Craythorne Cup - Int Female (aged 13-15) highest XLR8 points: Holly Smith • Overend Cup - Int Male, highest XLR8 points:
