Awards

Swim England Competitive Swimming Performance (CSP) Awards

The CSP award scheme aims to reward young swimmers in their first years of competitive swimming, encouraging them to focus on their strokes, turns and finishes, as well as speed in order to achieve better swim times for each stroke.

Times for each stroke are graded at 4 levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.  Once a swimmer achieves or breaks a time for any stroke at that level they can claim a cloth badge which relates to the distance (i.e. Sprint Bronze Award) and the relevant stroke flash (i.e. Bronze Butterfly Flash).  Swimmers can track their progress by collecting further flashes as times are achieved for each stroke at that distance.

The performance table below shows the length of the pool, distance, stroke and times required to achieve these awards.

All Awards are achieved in 25m pools
