The Australian Junior Excellence Program (JX) recognises, rewards and encourages junior swimmers who, through their development of aquatic skills and fitness, achieve a high standard of swimming excellence.
Under the Program, swimmers aged from 9 to 13 years who accomplish times set by Swimming Australia qualify at Gold, Silver, Bronze or Green standard, depending on their best performance/s during the season. For doing so, qualifiers receive special recognition by way of:
- a distinctive JX cap (9 & 10 year-olds) or JX shirt (11 to 13 year-olds)
- a JX certificate of achievement signed by the National Youth Coach and the captain of the Australian Swim Team!
- a JX motivational poster featuring elite Australian swimmers
- publication of their name on the Swimming NSW website.
Australia is one of the top swimming nations in the world and by achieving the Green, Bronze, Silver or Gold JX standard, junior swimmers are on the pathway to international success.
