End of Season Awards
The majority of the Club’s trophies are based on the Club Night points system with the exception of the Age Champion Trophies. The reason for this is to encourage participation and improvement rather than an emphasis on coming first.
Trophy philosophy: We recognise effort, consistency and personal improvement across the season. Age Champion is determined separately via the Individual Medley and Age Stroke Championships.
Trophies Awarded
Age Champions: These trophies are based on age for boys and girls. They combine the results from the Individual Medley and the Club Age Stroke Championships.

Special Events Trophy: Awarded to the boy and girl with the highest points for the special events races over the season.
