XLR8 is a motivational programme developed by Swimming New Zealand where swimmers score points across a combination of events and are ranked nationally on their performances. The programme recognises versatility and all-round ability, rewarding correct application of the processes necessary for long term athlete development.
Swimming New Zealand awards the top XLR8 swimmers bi-monthly in the following age categories: 10 & Under, 11 years, 12 years, 13 years and 14 years. These athletes receive a personalised XLR8 certificate (AQUABLACK teams) and XLR8 cap.
