• Rather than specialise in one event, the Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) believes that each
swimmer should compete in a number of events to help develop a swimmer’s potential. In the UK,
events are divided into categories and are called the British Age Group Categories or BAGCats for
short. When a swimmer competes in a BAGCat event, their time is converted into points that take
into account a swimmer's age and sex. A swimmer can take part in as many events in a season as
they choose to, but only their highest points score in each swimming category will count towards
their final BAGCat total.
• The overall position of a swimmer is the sum of the BEST points score in each of the 5 categories
(50m events, 100m, FORM, Distance and IM (100IM for 9-11year olds and 200-400IM for older
swimmers). It is therefore advisable to enter every category in the Age Groups if you can achieve the
qualifying times. (N.B boys 12 and below and girls 11 and below don’t swim the 100m individual
events) - FORM stroke is one of the three strokes having specific requirements (i.e. 200m
Breaststroke, Butterfly or Backstroke). Freestyle is not a FORM stroke but is used for distance events,
such as 200/400/800 or 1500m depending on the swimmers age and sex.
• The points are derived from the swimmers time, stroke, and age and correction factors. As each
stroke correction factor is different, it may not be obvious which is the swimmers best stroke!
