NEW SPEED AWARDS!

The City of Leeds are launching the ASA Competitive Swimming Performance Awards.  The awards will be available from the Development Meet on 23rd January 2011.
 
The ASA Competitive Swimming Performance Awards are time based awards. The times for the awards are consistent with the ASA Graded Swimming Times and the Gold Standards approximate to average county age group qualifying times for 12 year old boys.  When this level is reached there is a good chance that these swimmers would qualify at county level.
 
The awards are aimed at the younger swimmers in particular, although all swimmers on the scheme can achieve them regardless of age. We have introduced the awards as a progressive incentive to the swimmers to ultimately achieve their County Championship standards. The awards will be available to the swimmers at the Development Meets in particular, but they can be achieved by competing at any meet in our calendar throughout the season.  
 
Please click on the 2 links under speeds awards to the right for an information booklet about the awards and the times standards to be achieved.  (This will be uploaded on the blog in the next couple of days)
