I am pretty sure this is the same as Swimcloud or how a college team would rank a swimmer.  It is by the best four events for a swimmer during a season.[/quote]
DP - two or more of the events can be same stroke if different distances? [/quote]

Yes, points are done by events not strokes.

So a swimmer that excels at breast stroke (and that is the point maker) and can swim a 100 and 200 breast well, has two of the events that will gain them the points.  They will need two other events - oftentimes, with a breast stroker it will be IM, so it will be 100 and 200 or 400 IM.  If you go to swimcloud you can hover over the point score of the swimmer and it will tell you the events.

You will see a freestyler usually have three of their four of their events as 200, 500, 1000 for example.

That is why once you get beyond age group swimming and you want to swim in college, you work on your four events (not strokes).[/quote]
Thanks! Very helpful [/quote]
