The movement criteria should be seen as a guide, where meeting certain criteria points is positively acknowledged by coaches and for swimmers to work towards. Movements may happen with the majority of criteria points being achieved but will always fall under the discretion of the coaching team, in the best interest of the swimmer's development. Assesment for movement generally falls under the following: Technique, Attitude, Attendance, Age, Effort, Training & Competitive Ability.
