PROCESS APPLIED FOR THE SWIMMER OF THE MONTH

The Hy-Tek Points System

	Hy-Tek Points is a system for assigning a point value to virtually any swim. It is the only point system in existence that covers every event in all three courses: Long Course Meters Short Course Meters Short Course Yards

The Swimmer Of The Month Winners are selected according to the Hy-Tek power point system for each age level that assigns a point value to each swim. (The power point scale ranges from 1 to 1300 points with 800 points closely approximating the Reportable Time Standard. The point system has been created using an algorithm that is adjusted slightly for each age level. Ideally, a 500 point swim at one age level is equal in quality to a 500 point swim at another age level). This point system allows for comparison of the quality of performances across strokes, distances and events, as well as between age groups, therefore all ages up to the age of 18 years, stand an equal chance in winning the monthly prize.
