IMPORTANT RULES

You cannot compete in PRO in one league and age group in another. For example if you are competing 13U in FINA and pro in UNAA then you have to choose ONE (because the FINA endurance course is same as UNAA endurance course and it would be unfair to do both to others) SO CHOOSE ONE ( There are less FINA available so i recommend you do FINA and catch a different UNAA) YOU can compete in age groups that have the same course For example you can compete in 15U in UNAA and Young adult in FINA since they are the same course. You will get two different leaderboards! You compete in two different categories if they are on different days. For example if you compete in PRO for UNAA Endurance and then age group FINA Speed you can do that since they are different courses!

Awards

FINA Speed & Endurance Podium Certificates and Medal: Top 3 per division
