Personal Best Ribbons : These are the white ribbons and they represent the swimmers best time – first time swims are automatically awarded a personal best. Each time the swimmer clocks a time better than the last (s)he swam in any given event a new personal best ribbon will be awarded. There will be a notation on the ribbon describing the event, the time, and the amount of time that was ‘taken off’ . For example : John Doe, Boys 9-10 , 50 Free, 34.15, (- 3.14). This indicates John’s time is 34.15 and he swam this event 3.14 seconds faster than his previous best. Personal Best ribbons are the most important ribbon your swimmer receives – this is their own personal time clock and a true indication of their progress.
