Team Award Details

  • Team awards will be calculated each quarter based on the total GTD mileage on that team, divided by the number of GTD swimmers. (GTD Miles/ GTD Swimmers). Awards will be based on the table below.

    Average per # GTD Swimmers (Team Count)
    team member 1 - 9 10 - 14 15 - 19 20 - 24 25 +
    25 - 39 miles $10 $20 $30 $40 $50
    40 - 54 miles $15 $25 $35 $45 $55
    55 - 69 miles $20 $35 $50 $65 $80
    70 + miles $25 $45 $65 $85 $105

  • To be eligible, a team must have at least 1 swimmer (GTD participant) with an average of 25 miles for the quarter.
  • For the maximum team quarterly payout of $105, the calculation would be:
    1,750 miles (minimum) / 25 GTD swimmers (participants) = 70 miles average
