Incentives

We will continue the incentive program this year that recognizes both improvements and outstanding achievement for individual swimmers throughout the season. Swimmers can achieve the following: 

Green star (all 10-under swimmers)

Green stars are awarded whenever a 10 and under swimmer has improved his/her time in an individual stroke (relays excluded). A swimmer can get as many green stars as he/she is able (limited to one per stroke per meet).

Purple star

Awarded each time a swimmer breaks a pool record. Information on pool records is posted at the pool.

White star

Awarded each time a swimmer earns 100 points for the team. This is a cumulative number carried over from season to season.

All of the following stars are awarded once per stroke, per season to swimmers who achieve the threshold times.

Gold star / County Swim Caps

This star will be awarded to swimmers that achieve a county time in a stroke. County caps will be awarded to swimmers on the day they achieve a county time.

Red star

Is 10% away from a county time

Blue star

Is 20% away from a county time

Orange star

Is 30% away from a county time

 

Awards Banquet 

Del Amigo hosts an awards banquet for all swimmers and their families at the end of the regular season to celebrate our swimmers’ accomplishments.  Each Del Amigo swimmer is recognized for his/her participation and achievements throughout the season with a trophy.  Additionally, special achievement awards will be presented to a boy and girl in each age group.  These include the following:

 

Coaches Award:  This award recognizes swimmers for their commitment and dedication to the team and their overall attitude and work ethic.

Most Improved:  Awarded to the swimmers who have shown the greatest growth in skills including technique and times.

High-Point:  Awarded to the swimmers who have achieved most points in their age group.

 

A coveted “SPIRIT”/”Joey Moore” award (the finale of the Awards Banquet) is presented to two swimmers, boy and girl, who have demonstrated a contagious team spirit and enthusiasm for the sport of swimming.  This is a perpetual trophy presented by the Head Coach to these two young people.
