Introduction
In order to support the new approach to age group competition for the younger competitors, it is necessary to introduce a new point scoring system into British swimming.
The system comprises two elements:
British Comparative Performance Tables
British Age Group Correction Factors
Comparative Performance Points Systems
Comparative Performance Points Tables have been used in the UK since the 1970's in order to compare swimming times across the standard range of strokes and distances. British swimming has used FINA (The World Governing Body) tables. Both of these are based on world performances and reflect the parity between events at the top level of the sport. These tables have been used for scoring major open competitions, such as the G.B Club Team and are accepted by the swimming community as provision of a fair comparison across the range of events.
These factors are based totally on observations of British swimming performance levels. For each age group the reference times used are the average of the ten all time top British performances in each event. The factors are then determined by establishing the ratio between the number of points for the highest scoring event and each of the other events in each single year age group.
