Proficiency

Swimming Victoria coordinate Proficiency Meets via the districts throughout the year. At Proficiency Meets, swimmers can gain a range of awards by reaching the relevant time standards in the four swimming strokes. These meets are technique focused, non-competitive and allow swimmers to track their progress by applying for and achieving higher awards each year.
