Performance Awards Scheme
The club participates in the ASA Competitive Awards Scheme.
These awards can be achieved in competition or organised time trials held at the Club and recognise the time achieved. Award times are consistent with the ASA Graded Swimming Times. Gold Standard is approximate to average county age group qualifying times for 12 year old boys. When this level is reached, there is a good chance that these swimmers would qualify at county level.
There are 3 types of award which relate to the length of the swim:
1. Sprint: Distances up to 100m. for all strokes including Individual Medley (IM) 2. Middle Distance: 200m. for all strokes including IM and 400m front crawl 3. Distance: 400m IM and 800m and 1500m front crawl
Times are graded at 4 levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum, with a separate award for each stroke. Once the swimmer achieves a time at that level for any stroke, they can claim the round badge which relates to the distance (i.e. Sprint, Middle, Distance) and the relevant stroke flash and then collect further flashes as times are achieved for each stroke at that distance.
The ASA times for the most popular distances are shown below.
To claim an award you will need an official time at a competition (Gala or Open Meet) and your order form signed by your coach. You may need to provide additional evidence in the form of a Gala Result Sheet.

By now most of you have realised how quickly children grow out of fins or change their fins etc and quite often equipment is 'as good as new' but unable to be used any more.
.
In order to raise further funds for the Club we would like to start selling any second hand equipment which is still in good condition. All proceeds raised would go to help the Club purchase new equipment.
.
Could we therefore request that if you do have any second hand equipment that you would be happy to donate, could you please hand it direct to Jane Arnold or the session coaches so they can pass it on to Jane.
Tom Reed (along with 5 other masters swimmers) are attempting a relay swim across the English Channel to raise funds for the Kent Air Ambulance.
Tom is a masters swimmer for KASC, officiates at club Gala's and has two children swimming for the club.
We wish Tom all the best in his swim and if you would like to make a donation please click here.
