Progression Times
To swim 50m in a particular stroke, you must meet set progression times over 25m. When a member has swum 25m for a designated stroke within the time indicated below, on more than two occasions (excluding a time trial), the swimmer may graduate up to 50m.
The following table shows the progression times for 25m and provides a guide for the progression from 12.5m to 25m.
When progressing from 12.5m to 25m, Pups will undergo a stroke review by the referee to ensure that good form can be maintained over 25m.
For more information on progression times and criteria for Pups and Senior Racing, please read the Club Handbook HERE
