2009/2010 Junior Excellence Awards & Youth Performance Squad

3rd June 2010

Congratulations Fleurieu Recipients

The Australian Junior Excellence Program (JX), recognises rewards and encourages junior swimmers who, through their development of aquatic skills and fitness, achieve a high standard of swimming excellence.

Under the program, swimmers aged from 9 to 13 years, who accomplish times set by Swimming Australia, qualify at Gold, Silver, Bronze or Green standard, depending on their best performance/s during the season.

For 2009/2010 the Fleurieu Swimming Club has 27 recipients - 7 Gold, 9 Silver, 4 Bronze and 7 Green.

The Australian Youth Performance Squad (YPS) is an exciting new initiative designed to reward swimmers aged 13-18 for their performances in the pool. The YPS is an extension of the Junior Excellence program which recognises and rewards 9-13 year olds. Similar to Junior Excellence, YPS rewards swimmers for achieving particular time standards set by Swimming Australia.

For 2009/2010 the Fleurieu Swimming Club has 7 recipients - 1 Silver, 4 Bronze and 2 Blue.

Congratulations to all of you!
