Power Point results
The Titans made a trip through winter weather to Webster for the 2024 Niagara Power Point Championship Meet. This meet is the only meet that uses “Power Point” rankings for their highpoint awards. Every swim listed in the USA Swimming times database includes a Power Point value. This point system allows for comparison of the quality of performances across strokes, distances, and events, as well as between age groups. The power point scale ranges from 1 to 1100 points. The higher the points, the stronger you are in that event. We use these points to rank you and your club in our IM Ready, IMX and Virtual Club Championships programs.
