Swimming

Written By Joanne Pasternack

When competing at the U-15 Level, Kira will be required to swim 100 meters. Her first swim coach was the amazing, patient and encouraging Nina Pineda - then head of aquatics at Bay Club Santa Clara. She currently trains with Ryan Richards - the inspiring, tactically-oriented and super fun surfing-enthusiast who is now head of aquatics at Bay Club Santa Clara. At Bay Club, Kira is also a member of the Panthers Swim Team.

Athletes compete in a 50, 100 or 200m freestyle swim depending on age group.

  • Athletes are seeded in heats according their personal best times.

  • 250 points are awarded based on an optimum time for each age group.

  • Athletes gain 1 point for each 0.5 second they are quicker than this optimum time and lose 1 point for each 0.5 second they are slower than this optimum time.
