Development Gold and Platinum to Juggernaut C Preferred Criteria

Promotion is based on 3 areas: Training performance, Racing performance, and Key attributes including; attitude, commitment, motivation, organisation, timekeeping and being self-reliant.

For all promotions please be aware that coaches discretion is the deciding factor as there are many other considerations to determine a swimmers readiness for promotion.  A birthday later in the year may mean target times are harder for some to achieve than others.  Likewise we wouldn’t hold a National Backstroke swimmer back if they didn’t know how to dive.  Ultimately the coaches will make the right decision for each swimmer on an individual basis.
