• At each event, each club participant will earn 1 point to finish the race.  

• 1st AG placer, 2nd AG placer, and 3rd AG placer will earn 3, 2, and 1 points respectively. 

• Overall female/male winner will receive an additional 3 points.

• At the end of the year, awards will be given to the top 3 clubs with the most points. The swimmer with the most points will receive the Best Swimmer Award. If the final points are equal, the club with the most swimmers participating or the swimmer who participated in the most number of races will be named champions.  

為了鼓勵團隊合作及良性運動競技, 今年起增設泳會 / 泳隊計分制，如下：​

• 每位泳手登記比賽時，可提供所屬泳會 / 泳隊

• 每場比賽 完結後， 所有參賽泳手會為所屬泳會 / 泳隊得到 1 分

• 所有年齡組別前三名可為所屬泳會 / 泳隊 分別得到 3 / 2 / 1 分

• 年終游泳系列完結後，得分最高 泳會 / 泳隊 3 位 可得獎項 ​， 得分最高泳手可獲最佳泳手獎 。 若最終積分相同，則按參賽人數最多的俱樂部或參加比賽次數最多的游泳選手將被評為冠軍。
