Thank you for reaching out! Our data is mainly focused on USA Swimming club swimming, and we currently don’t support user-submitted swimmer profiles.

However, if you don’t mind, please send your daughter’s information, including her full name and team/club to support@swimstandards.com. We can try to set up a profile for her on our end. Once the profile is created, we can look into helping you add her swim times as well.

Motivational Standards aren't available for every swim. Here's why:

Age range: Motivational Standards are published for the 10 & Under, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16, and 17-18 age groups (and by single age, 10 through 18). Swims by swimmers over age 18 fall outside these published groups, so no standard applies.
Event recognition: Motivational Standards are only calculated for USA Swimming–recognized events. Swims from unrecognized event types don't have a standard.
13&Over 50s: Starting with the 2025–2026 season, 13&Over 50-yard/meter events became recognized by USA Swimming. Swims from before that season in these events won't have a Motivational Standard, since they weren't a recognized event at the time.
Standards cycle (QUAD): USA Swimming publishes new Age Group Motivational Time Standards every four years (a "quad"), each with B, BB, A, AA, AAA, and AAAA levels for SCY, SCM, and LCM. The current quad covers 2024–2028, effective September 1, 2024. We always compare a swim against the standards that were in effect on the date it was actually swum — not today's standards — so older swims are judged fairly against the criteria of their own era.

You can view the full current standards here: Age Group Motivational Times

Power Points scores aren't available for every swim. Here's why:

Age range: We calculate Power Points for swimmers ages 4–22. Swims outside this range won't show a score.
Event recognition: Power Points are only calculated for USA Swimming–recognized events. Swims from SCM (short course meters) or other unrecognized event types don't have a score.
13&Over 50s: Starting with the 2025–2026 season, 13&Over 50-yard/meter events became recognized by USA Swimming. Swims from before that season in these events won't have a Power Points score, since they weren't a recognized event at the time.

If a swim falls into one of these categories, you'll see "N/A" instead of a score.

Great news for anyone tracking sprint performances — USA Swimming Power Points are now available for 13 & Over 50s in both SCY and LCM.

What's New

We've backfilled Power Points for 50 Back, 50 Breast, and 50 Fly in both SCY and LCM, covering all swims from the 2025–2026 season (meets held on or after September 1, 2025). Points now appear anywhere times are displayed across SwimStandards — leaderboards, swimmer profiles, meet results, and top times pages.

Where You'll See It

Points columns are now live across the site for these events, giving you an apples-to-apples way to compare 50s performances across age groups — something that's historically been harder to do with sprint events, where raw time gaps can be misleading given how tightly bunched the competition often is.

Calculator Update

The Power Points Calculator has also been updated to support 50s in both SCY and LCM, so you can plug in a time and see exactly where it stacks up.

Example

Here's a look at the Girls 15-16 LCM 50 Back leaderboard with Points now populated:

Top Times - Girls - 50 Back

Hi! Thanks for reaching out. We received your email and have already merged Charlotte’s profiles.

If anyone else runs into duplicate swimmer profiles, please email us at contact@swimstandards.com with the swimmer’s name and the URLs of the duplicate profiles. We’ll review them and merge them as quickly as possible.

Thank you for reaching out. The CA/NV Sectional standards were inadvertently missed, but we’ve now added them, including the 50s.

@epic_dolphin208

Thank you for the thoughtful testing.

When you get a chance, please attach the PDF files you used for those three meets, and I’ll take a look.

I’d like to check whether this is a copy-and-paste issue. The raw data in the files you uploaded appears to be in multiple columns.

@epic_dolphin208
We’ve made a few more improvements to the parser, and it’s getting much better at handling different meet document formats. Give it a try and let us know if you find any issues.
