What Does a PB Mean? ⏱️
New swim parents may hear swimmers and coaches talking about a PB or personal best. It means exactly what it sounds like: the fastest time that swimmer has personally achieved in an event. That's why swimming is such a unique sport.
A swimmer can finish 10th and have an AMAZING meet because they dropped three seconds. Another swimmer can win and still have things to improve.
The ultimate competition is often against the clock — and yourself.
Celebrate those PBs! 💚
