  • The best three scores from each team will count towards the point score system.
  • The points system is based on attendance, achievement, and overall improvement.
Attendance Points:

This average will then be added to attendance score and the lowest overall points will win. In the event of a tie, the lowest score at the 2025 Victorian Junior Lifesaving Championships will decide the winner.
