This program was set up to provide awards and recognition to age group swimmers who achieve qualifiying standards based on Canadian and Provincial listings (TAG and TAS).  Standards are established by the Alberta Coaches Council with Swim Alberta Board of Directors approval, and revised the year following the Alberta Time Standards revisions.
