each season: summer and winter (if applicable) for registered
club members. Full details of the competition are in the Club Handbook.

the One Start Rule will apply to all Club races. Swimmers who false start will
automatically be disqualified. A perpetual shield and trophy will be awarded to the highest male and female
point scorer of the season. The second and third male and female placegetters
will also receive a trophy. Medals will be awarded to swimmers who obtain the
following number of points: Bronze Medal - 40 points Silver Medal - 60 points Gold Medal - 100 points or more A monthly point score award will be presented to the
highest male and female point scorer for each month. Swimminers will be allocated the following points when they improve on their
previous best time for a particular event: 1 point - equal or slower time than previous best or first time entry 2 points - improvement of up to 2 second 3 points - improvement of between 1 and 2 seconds 4 points - improvement of between 2 and 3 seconds 5 points - improvement of 3 seconds or more. Swimmers will be promoted from one distance to another after they achieve break
times twice and/or the Head Coach has assessed their performance. Details
of these break times are set out in the Club Handbook. No points will be awarded if a competitor swims in a 25m event following promotion
unless instructed by the Head Coach. No points will be awarded if a competitor swims in a 100m or 200m event unless they
have achieved the break times. Times established by swimmers in the previous season's point score competition
will be used as a benchmark for the current point score competition. Full details of the Club Championships are in the Club
