It depends on the scoring system you use and the type of meet that you are at. Generally, in a six lane pool at a duel swim meet scoring is as follows: Individual Events: 1st - 6 pts, 2nd - 4 pts, 3rd - 3 pts, 4th - 2 pts, 5th - 1 pt Relay Events: 1st - 12 pts, 2nd - 8pts, 3rd - 6 pts If the meet is a championship, then the points start at 16 for first place overall and then 14 for second and then decrease by ones until zero.
