The Australian Youth Performance Squad (YPS) is an exciting initiative designed to reward swimmers aged 13-18 for their performances in the pool. The YPS is an extension of the Junior Excellence program which recognises and rewards 9-13 year olds. Similar to Junior Excellence, YPS rewards swimmers for achieving particular time standards set by Swimming Australia.
YPS qualifiers receive recognition by way of:
- A YPS Backpack
- A customised YPS towel based on level achieved
- A YPS cap
- A YPS poster
- A YPS DVD
- Their name published on the Swimming NSW website.
