Personal Best times (PBs)
can be set at both competitions and time-trials. They can be taken from relay events if the swimmer was first in
the relay and the time was recorded electronically.
Regional and National
Championships Qualifying Times can only be set at ASA licensed open meets, such
as the County Championships, except for long distance events (400m and above)
where they can be set at time-trials.
PBs are recorded for each
swimmer on a database which is updated after each competition. A hard copy is kept in the boxes on the Club
desk each Wednesday night, however this is only updated every month or so.
It is a good idea if you
keep a record of your own PBs.
If you know you have set a
new PB, and it is not on the sheet, you need to show your card with the
official time on it to me or leave a note in the book at the desk. If it was set during a Club gala then tell
me which gala and I will check the times again.
