THE XLR8 PROGRAM IS OUR AGE GROUP FLAGSHIP - YOU CAN HAVE YOUR PROFILE ON THE SNZ WEBSITE!!!

The XLR8 program is strongly recommended by the SNZ Performance & Pathway team for all AGE GROUP SWIMMERS.  The program is designed to assist swimmers and their programs to develop a broad range of skills and distances, ensuring each swimmer will be prepared for the next stage of their swimming career.  The XLR8 program recognizes versatility and all-round ability, rewarding correct application of the processes necessary for long term athlete development. 

Swimming New Zealand identifies and recognizes the outstanding achievements of those swimmers who deliver the highest cumulative XLR8 scores based on best performances during the calendar year within a single age category.  These are SNZ's Top XLR8ers.  The Top XLR8ers are recognized annually, receiving a profile on the Swimming New Zealand website in addition to the bi-monthly award(s) they have received, while their coaches receive an AQUABLACK Poster for their Club Room.  

Below are the Top XLR8ers for 2011.  Congratulations from all in the Performance & Pathways team - we will be WATCHING YOUR PROGRESS this year.  GO TEAM!  Congratulations to the coaches of these swimmers for a job well done.  ** Please note once profiles are received of our 2011 winners they will be updated
