ASA Awards
ASA Competitive Start Award
The ASA Competitive Start Award teaches safe racing starts into shallow water from a starting block, as well as a variety of starting techniques. We offer regular training so that swimmers can achieve this award and be able to use the starting blocks during competitions.
ASA Competitive Swimming Performance Badge Awards
The ASA performance badges are a great way for swimmers, regardless of age, to mark their improvement and to aim for the next level. There are 4 levels of achievement – bronze, silver, gold and platinum which are split into sprint (25m, 50m and 100m,) middle distance (200m and 400m) and distance (800m+). Below are the times that need to be achieved, but please check the results page for swimmer’s eligibility, which can be gained at competition or organised time trials. You only need to achieve one time for each distance to qualify for each stroke flash. Please order badges through the club shop.
Badges can be sewn onto your t-bag or a special towel as 
shown.
