At Championship Meets, SCSL awards a high point award for the swimmer who earned the most points in their individual events – up to 120 points (1st place = 20 points, and up to 6 events)
The Team Trophy
After our ‘most time dropped’ achievers and our high point earners have had their time with the trophy, each swimmer will have the opportunity to take it home for a few days at a time. We’ll go in order of most time dropped (i.e. ‘best’ of the personal best times)
Relays at Champs
We don’t get to do relays often, so it’s really special when we have so many relay teams at champs meets! This year, we had a relay entered in almost every gender and age group – and in some cases, two relays per event. Relays are important to the team, because they earn DOUBLE points.
Relays are a unique group experience for swimmers. We tried to offer relay spots to as many swimmers as possible.
