Create Challenge Conquer
Swimmers are expected to enter and race at their allocated swim meets as per their coach's direction. All qualifiers for National Championships are expected to race in order to contribute to our Gold Objective of placing in the Top 3.
Our goal is to have 100 swimmers competing at National level and above and scoring over 1000 points.
The competition calendar is broken in 3 seasons:
Winter Season (May – September) - Target meets are International swim meets, NZ Short Course Age Group Championsips and South Island Championships.
Summer Season (October – January) - Target meets are the NZ Short Course Open Championships and the Canterbury Championships
Nationals (February – April) - Target meets are the National Championships
The annual training break is taken in April of each year. You are strongly encouraged not to swim, and thus spend time with your family and friends, taking the opportunity to re-charge your batteries for the Winter Season.
