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 and 10 year olds) or JX shirt (11 to 13 year olds)
• A JX certificate signed by the National Youth Coach and members of the Australian Swim Team
• A JX motivational poster featuring elite Australian swimmers
• Publication of their name on this website
• A JX DVD with tips from Swimming experts
JX Selection Criteria 2012-2013

The Australian Youth Performance Squad (YPS) is an exciting new 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.
