Attendance:
In order to be eligible to receive a varsity letter, you must have an 80% or better attendance rate. For each percent the athlete obtains over 85% she will receive a credit. For example: if an athlete makes 93.5% of all practices during the season, she will receive 9 credits. An absence, even if excused, will count as an absence here.
Years:
For each season an athlete participates, she will be presented with credits. Credits are for years of participation, not the year of high school.
0- First year, 8- Second, 16- Third, 20- Fourth
Divers:
Will receive 5 credits for being able to complete 6 dives in competition.
Will receive 5 additional credits for being able to complete 11 dives in competition.
Will receve 5 additional credits for being able to score 125 points in competition.
These three standards can receive credits each only once per season.
Times:
Part of improving swimming techniques and staying motivated is striving for a time. Swimmers will earn 5 credits for every individual time they achieve. Swimmers may only receive credits once per event. The 50 and 100 freestyle times can only be used as an individual or relay time, not both.
