Haha. We’ll be adding “Futures,” “Winter Junior Nationals,” “Summer Junior Nationals,” “U.S. Open,” “Olympic Trials,” etc. soon.

Why don't I see a Power Points score for this swim? -
Race data@clever_tang411
What you saw is the ranking for the 2026–2027 season, which only includes swims from September 1, 2026 onward. Since the season has just started, fewer than a dozen meets have been held by clubs across the U.S. So far, Van is ranked 7th out of only 66 swimmers.Both the website and the app have a similar dropdown, like the one shown below (screenshot from the website), that allows you to view rankings from previous seasons.
Also, since there are not many swims yet for the 2026–2027 season, we have not added the 2026–2027 option to the main Rankings page yet. However, the rankings have already been generated based on the data currently available.
I hope this answers your question. If not, please leave a comment below, and I’ll be happy to explain further.

Race dataYes, we received them from the meet director.

Fundraiser for struggling swim teamsI’d love to hear what has worked for other teams too. Hopefully some coaches or team admins here can share their experience and ideas.

Race dataWe import data daily, as new data can become available at any time during the week. For Arizona, there can sometimes be a delay, and in some cases it may take more than a week, depending on how often your LSC submits the data.
From what I can see, the most recent one, the 2026 JSC Team Combine held on 8/28, was imported into our system on 9/1.
If you let us know the meet name, we can manually look up the results for you.

How to add a new swimmer profile for a swimmer not in the database?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.

Why don't I see a Motivational Standard for this swim?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

Why don't I see a Power Points score for this swim?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.

⚡ Power Points Now Live for 13 & Over 50s (SCY & LCM)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:
