Qualifying Times

We're all about encouraging swimmers to participate at club night, in events that are matched with their swimming capability.  This is often something the BSC Committee will discuss with parents, to ensure we can uphold the principles of the club, with any decision being made in the best interests of swimmers.  To assist, we currently use the following qualifying times, to determine when a swimmer should progress/ nominate for 50m events.  We may adjust these times throughout the season, and choose to publish them here for guidance for swimmers and their families:

Stroke

Time for 25m equal to or less than:

Freestyle

25 seconds

Backstroke

28 seconds

Breaststroke
