Congratulations 13-14 Virtual Club
Championship Scorers!
|
The USA Swimming Virtual Club Championship program recognizes and highlights clubs that develop athletes and achieve success at multiple levels in club swimming. It emphasizes the team element in club swimming, and teams are scored using the USA Swimming power point system.
The Virtual Club Championship runs from the start to finish of each swim season. To earn points, teams may score two swimmers per event and age group, while individual swimmers are
limited to contributing four swims. Swimmers must be 11 years old or older to score points.
Congratulations to all AGUA athletes on our highest VCC score in program history with 231,995 points for the 2022 short course season. We will be recognizing our swimmers who scored in the VCC this season over the next four weeks, starting with our youngest athletes.
