The Tawa Swimming Club Championships are usually held in May and are open to all members of the club. Everyone is encouraged to participate.

The Club Champs consist of 10 age groups for females and males ranging from '8 & Under' to '17 & Over', with trophies awarded to the winners of each age group at the annual prizegiving. For each age group there are five swims which count towards trophy points (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly and Individual Medley) so swimmers should ensure they enter as many age group events as possible.  A description of the trophies that are competed for, and a guide to the events that contribute to the specific trophies, can be found here.

Events are swum as timed finals based on entry times, and points are awarded for each age group as follows:

• 1^st = 8 points
• 2^nd = 5 points
• 3^rd = 3 points
• 1 point for for participation, even if the swimmer is Disqualified ("DQ")

Whilst Club Chambs is a “Development Meet”, Disqualifications (“DQs”) will be recorded. If a swimmer is given a DQ for an event, the time that the swimmer gains will still be valid for uploading to SNZ as an official time, however the swimmer will not be placed in their event and will not be entitled to any points (with the exception of the 1 point for racing that event).

Certificates are awarded for the first three placegetters in every event and these are presented at the prizegiving.

Age is as at the date of the meet.  To be eligible to compete at the TSC Club Champs, you must be a financial member of Tawa Swimming Club as at 30 April of that year. The meet is open to Tawa Swimming Club registered recreational, club and competitive swimmers.

In addition to the individual events there is a cup for the family relay which is the final event of the meet. To enter the family relay you must have 3 swimmers from 2 generations i.e. 2 children and a parent, or 2 parents and a child.

If you have any questions about the club champs please contact the Race Secretary.
