Qualifying times and progression

At Everton Park Sharks, swimmers move up to longer distances as they build speed and skill. Progression is based on both time and technique.

When a swimmer meets the qualifying time and demonstrates stroke proficiency, they advance to the next distance. Once they move up, they stay at that level — no swimming back to shorter distances. Using the app swimmers can then nominate for the next distance.
