These are the best times for each age group in a Club Championships event. As of the 2009 Championships there will no longer be any 25m events.

  A New CBP set  at the 2010 200m Championships!

        
   
   Introduced back in 1972 this perpetual trophy is awarded at regular intervals to acknowledge the most  improved    
    personal performance by any of the club's younger swimmers. The performance is that indicated by the decrease in         
    the  previous Personal Best' of the swimmer in any one of the four strokes or the IM. The award is limited to formal  
    ASA  events of  100m or less and  to girls and boys aged 12 years or under at the gala date. The cup is clearly an   
    incentive in recognising  any significant improvement but also encourages swimmers to take part in their weaker  
    strokes where there is the most potential for improvement. The name of the holder of the 'takeaway cup' is displayed          

    
    
   The Top Talent Competition embodies a simple technique to inter-compare the swimming performance of girls and
     boys irrespective of their age, chosen stroke or the distance swum in obtaining a competition time. Effectively their   
    swim time is compared with the NQT (National Qualifying Time) for their age, stroke and distance. The TT formula  
    (NQTx100/SwimTime) gives the SPEED of the swimmer as a percentage of the swim speed needed to obtain an  
    NQT in that stroke and at that distance. Although there are only a limited number of stroke & distance combinations
     In the Hart Club competition a TT figure can be obtained for any National Competition event. The principle is an    
    invaluable aid both to monitor swimmer development and to show the distance to a target aim. For example a  
    TT figure of 95 indicates that just a 5% improvement will produce a NQT, whilst a TT figure of 100 or more indicate
     the NQT milestone has been reached. At that stage a word to Coach would produce the approximate figure needed
     to reach the G,B,S medal standard at National level!
