AGE GROUP SWIMMING
BAGCAT (British Age Group Categories) points are awarded to children up to the age of 14, swimming in many Galas. The real significance is when your child swims at County, Region or National Level. Points are then awarded according to their age and recorded time. The points for your child's best swims in certain events are then added up.
The events that "count" towards the BAGCAT total vary by age and gender and the level of the competition.
Details of the age groups and categories are listed in the accompanying .pdf which can be accessed via the quick link.
At the end of the Counties, East Regions and Nationals competitions, your child will receive a BAGCAT certificate stating their position in the competition and the categories in which they swam and the times recorded regardless of the position they finished.
