| Abstract: |
This study extends the research frontier of relay swim team selection. In particular, the extension is to select the optimum teams for a club competing at a masters competition. The model uses an integer optimisation routine to select several teams of different cumulative ages who fall into the age classification categories defined at masters level. Data analysed to demonstrate the method is based on the best times of masters competitors for a swimming club in South Africa. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
