Great news for anyone tracking sprint performances — USA Swimming Power Points are now available for 13 & Over 50s in both SCY and LCM.
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.
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.
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.
Here's a look at the Girls 15-16 LCM 50 Back leaderboard with Points now populated:
Questions or notice something off with a points calculation? Drop a note in the thread and we'll take a look.
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.
Welcome to the Swim Standards Community! We’re happy you’re here. Don’t hesitate to jump into any discussion or start a new one if you have a question. Enjoy the community!
Thank you for reaching out. The CA/NV Sectional standards were inadvertently missed, but we’ve now added them, including the 50s.

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.

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.
This should be fixed. Please try it again.

Great catch! Thanks! 👏 We just shared a story highlighting Hunter’s swim.
By the way, here’s the list of 2026 National Age Group (NAG) Records:
https://swimstandards.com/records/nag
It depends on the swimmer’s age and gender. 😊
For example, a 35.00 in the 50 LCM Freestyle is:
AAAA corresponds to 98%, AAA to 94%, AA to 92%, A to 85%, B to 45%, and BB to 65%.
