THE INCENTIVE CUP

and Top Talent

 

THE INCENTIVE CUP

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 in the Club trophy cabinet

TOP TALENT

 

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/Swim Time) 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 indicates 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!
