Swimmers can only achieve this prestigious award once in each swimming year by completing all the relevant events for their age category while they are in that age category.
Once a swimmer goes up an age group they need to do ALL the events in their new age category before being eligible for the award again.
Special IM pins will be presented at the Annual Presentation day. These I’M Tough pins can be worn on club shirt collars as a symbol of their earning a significant (and not easy) all-‐round achievement in all strokes over longer distances.
