How you earn XP

Points come from what you do every day, not from how fast you are. Turn up, do the work, and the numbers move.

Daily cap: 300 XP; the most one day can add
Mark Present: 60 XP; applied in one tap
Top multiplier: 2.5×; at the longest streak

Worth knowing

Missing a day does not delete anything you have already earned. It resets the multiplier, not the points.
A day is capped at 300 XP. Once a swimmer reaches it, further ticks stop adding points for that day.
Your streak multiplies what everything is worth, up to 2.5× — so consistency is worth more than any single big day.
Your club chose this list. Names, values and rungs are the club's own and can change.

This is the list every club starts from. A club running Mettle can rename any of it, change what it is worth, retire it, add its own, and rewrite the levels — and then this same page prints their version instead. mettlearena.com
