Phoenix Swimmers Individual Achievement

We are very proud of the many phoenixes who were able to secure victories at the OECS trials. However, we would also like to recognize individual achievements for the team.  It is notable that every Phoenix swimmer who competed in the last meet has substantially improved by at least 5%….how important is 5% well…read the “math section” to find out

Some fun Trivia!!

Johann Derrick is extremely notable as he improved by an average of around 60% in just 3 months which led the team in rate of improvement. This is a rate of 20% per month. If Johann (or anyone) can maintain a 4^th of this improvement or just 5% per month then they will (assuming Johan’s current time of 52.43) shatter the current world record (by about 3 seconds) for 50 free in just 21 months or in less than 2 years.

1. “Seed Times” refer to the last official time a Phoenix Swimmer achieved which is basically the time you achieved in the last meet at the AAC in June. Your finals time refers to your time from the OECS trials on the 4^th.
2. Some swimmers do NOT have seed times because they did not participate in the race in June, this does not mean that you have not been improving it simply means that we do not have a reference to compare you with your finals time is your new seed time so after the next race you will be able to compare that.
3. Your improvement is simply calculated by taking the total number of seconds in your finals time and subtracting that from your total number of seconds in your seed time.
4. Your “Total Improvement” is basically adding up the total time you took to complete all your events this time (or all of your finals times) and subtracting that from the total time you took in the last race.
   1. In the event that you added new events only the events that you participated in for BOTH races are included in the totals calculation.
   2. Your percentage improved is simply the percent you are faster in a given stroke
   3. Your total percent improved is simply the percent you were faster in completing all your strokes.
