JX Program

Bio Island Australian JX 2022-20223

Swimming Australia’s Junior Excellence (JX) program recognises the performances of swimmers aged 9 – 13 to encourage and inspire the next generation of competitive swimmers.

Delivered in conjunction with all states and territories, this program provides junior swimmers with access to a host of elite role models, including the program’s national ambassador – Dolphin Jack McLoughlin – along with receiving live recognition of achievements via Swim Central and program merchandise.

Within the JX program, junior swimmers strive to achieve gold, silver, bronze or blue standard times when they compete throughout the year, with swimming clinics offered throughout the year in every state and territory.

History of the program:

The Junior Excellence Program was established in 2007 to recognise, reward and incentivise junior swimmers who are on part of their swimming journey, learning and refining as they develop into senior swimmers. Each year Swimming Australia releases the JX criteria and standards for the forthcoming season which swimmers, parents and coaches can use as targets throughout the year.

Swimmers aged from 9 to 13 years, who accomplish times set by Swimming Australia, qualify at gold, silver, bronze or blue standard, depending on their best performance/s during the season.

All ‘approved’ swim meet results are loaded into the Swimming Australia’s Swim Central and used as results towards an overall award for each individual swimmer. At the end of the qualification period, Swimming Australia will publish the JX results on the website.

Qualifying Standards and Criteria.

Please see below qualifying times for the 2022-23 season. Times achieved since May 1 2022 will be included in the 2022-2023 Australian Junior Excellence season.

JX 2022-23 Qualifying Criteria and Standards

Frequently Asked Questions

​How Do I Register For The JX Program

No registration is required for the JX program, all results are calculated by Swimming Australia automatically using swim meet results uploaded by clubs, regions, districts and state associations into the Swim Central database.

​How Do I Qualify For The JX Program?

To qualify for the JX program, swimmers are required to be a member of Swimming Australia, aged from 9 to 13 years and achieve one of the qualifying criteria set by Swimming Australia within the qualifying timeframe.
​
The JX Qualifying standards and criteria can be found on the Swimming Australia website.

​How Do I Find Out If I Have Qualified?

When the qualification period ends, Swimming Australia prepares the JX results and publishes them on the JX section of the website and uploads a special JX avatar in Swim Central.
​
Prior to the release of the results, Swimming Australia will publicise the release date of the results to make all swimmers and clubs aware of the release date and time via its social media channels and website.

​What Happens If I Have a Birthday During The Qualifying Period?

Where a swimmer has a birthday during the qualification period and records times under two different age groups, he/she will receive a JX reward depending on the highest standard achieved in either (not both) of those age groups. i.e. if a swimmer achieves Gold standard as a 10-year-old and Silver as a 11 year old, the Gold standard would be awarded.

​Can I Achieve The Times in a Short Course (25m) Pool or a Long Course (50m) Pool?

Swimmers aged 9 and 10 years can achieve qualifying times in both short course and long course swimming pools. Swimmers aged 11 years to 13 years can only qualify in long course swimming pools.

​Can I Use Relay Splits as a Qualifying Time?

Relay splits including lead off times will not be recognised in the JX program, only individual swims will qualify.

​How Do I Know Which Swim Meets Are Approved?

Approved swim meets are competitions that have achieved the minimum setup and technical official requirements. It is the responsibility of the host organisation of the swim meet to ensure that the requirements have been met as well as recording and uploading the accurate times into the Swim Central results database.
​
The host organisation of the swim meet will publicise if the meet is an ‘approved’ or a ‘non-approved’ meet.

​How Do I Receive My JX Pack?

Once the qualifying period ends, Swimming Australia analyses all swim meet results to determine the qualifying swimmers and their award standard. JX Packs are then packed and sent directly to the swimming club that the swimmer is registered to at the time of releasing the results.
