XLR8 Programme

XLR8 is a motivational programme developed by Swimming New Zealand where swimmers score points across a combination of events and are ranked nationally on their performances. The programme recognizes versatility and all-round ability, rewarding correct application of the processes necessary for long term athlete development.

Swimming New Zealand awards the top XLR8 swimmers bi-monthly in the following age categories: 10 & Under, 11 years, 12 years, 13 years and 14 years.  These athletes receive a personalized XLR8 certificate (AQUABLACK teams, AQUABLACK swimmers) an XLR8 cap, and a SNZ sticker.

The most recent XLR8 award winners for January/February 2012 can be found below:
