How to read this

Athletes: A club's athletes in a band are those who raced a division in that band for the club in the season. Someone who raced in two bands is in both, so the column can add up to more than the club's 64 athletes; a combined division spanning bands counts only under mixed ages. The age pyramid (Analytics › Pipeline) counts the same way. How we count.

Entries and medals count every race, relays included; Podium = podium rate, medals ÷ entries. Nippers are U14 and under; Junior (Lifeguard) is U15–U19; mixed ages are combined or unlabelled divisions.
