The XLR8 program is strongly recommended by the SNZ High Performance team for all AGE GROUP SWIMMERS. The program is designed to assist swimmers and their programs to develop a broad range of skills and distances, ensuring each swimmer will be prepared for the next stage of their swimming career. The XLR8 program recognizes versatility and all-round ability, rewarding correct application of the processes necessary for long term athlete development.
Swimming New Zealand identifies and recognizes the outstanding achievements of those swimmers who deliver the highest cumulative XLR8 scores based on best performances during the calendar year within a single age category. These are SNZ's Top XLR8ers. The Top XLR8ers are recognized annually.
Below are the Top XLR8ers from 2010-2015. Congratulations from all in theHigh Performance team - we will be WATCHING YOUR PROGRESS this year. GO TEAM! Congratulations to the coaches of these swimmers for a job well done.
