Sunny Summer Swim Series swimmers, race starts and happy finishers — Summer Swim Series · previous-season highlights

Consistency gets rewarded.

Swim series eligibility

Complete at least 8 races at the same swim distance to qualify for overall age-group awards. Your fastest eight completed times at that distance are added together. The lowest total ranks highest in your age-group category.

SwimRun eligibility

Complete at least 8 SwimRun events at the assigned event distances to qualify for overall SwimRun age-group awards.

Age-group medals

Medals are awarded to qualified swimmers in 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each published event and age-group category. Qualification requires eight completed races; a slower ninth or later time does not add to your best-eight total.

The club challenge.

EVERY SWIMMER COUNTS

Bring your speed.
Bring your mates.

Each event winner earns 100 team points. Every other finisher earns a percentage: winner’s finish time ÷ their finish time × 100. Points from every swimmer with a club recorded are added together, across all events including SwimRun and the kids’ swim.

Faster swimmers earn more points. Bigger teams can build their total through everyday swimmers turning up and giving it a go. The season’s Top Club Trophy is the prize.
