04A year on2026 so far

Where do swimmers improve most for their age?

Since the same months of 2025, in 6 of 100 clubs clearly more than half of the swimmers gained more points than swimmers of the same age, gender and level a year before, and in 16 clearly fewer than half; of those clearly ahead, the most: Tawa, 70 in 100; of those clearly behind, the fewest: Bream Bay, 15 in 100.

Each swimmer’s gain in best points* since the same months of 2025, set beside the typical gain of New Zealand swimmers of the same age, gender and level a year before (the same quarter of best points a year before): how many gained more, per 100. Clubs with 5 or more such swimmers; the 10 highest and the 10 lowest, faded where the difference from half is not clear - and it is clear only with 10 or more swimmers, so a smaller club stays faded however far it stands.
