Q&A on USA Swimming Power Points and Time StandardsI just replied to your email as well, but for others who may have the same question:
“Did I Qualify” uses each swimmer’s personal best based on all times currently available in our database. For meets swum this week, the update timing depends on when your LSC publishes the results or uploads them to USA Swimming’s SWIMS system. Some LSCs release results as early as Monday, in which case the new times will appear right away.

🏊♀️ Lake Erie & Ohio LSC Merger – What You’ll See on Swim StandardsHi everyone,
Starting with the 2025–26 swim season, Lake Erie Swimming (LE) and Ohio Swimming (OH) have officially merged into a single LSC under Ohio Swimming.
On Swim Standards, we’ve updated how rankings and profiles reflect this change:
-
🏅 Rankings:
All 2025–26 season and future rankings including Event Rankings and IMX Rankings are now grouped under Ohio Swimming (OH).
Swimmers who previously belonged to Lake Erie (LE) are included within the new Ohio LSC rankings automatically — so their swims continue to count just like before. -
👥 Profiles:
You may still see “LE (was OH)” on swimmer pages.
This note helps preserve each swimmer’s historical LSC information while recognizing the current, unified structure. -
📜 Historical Data:
We continue to keep all Lake Erie team affiliations and meet histories intact for past seasons.
That means 2024–25 and earlier results remain listed under LE, ensuring full accuracy for legacy data.
In short — nothing is lost, and no action is needed.
Your past Lake Erie results remain preserved, while new performances are ranked under the unified Ohio Swimming LSC moving forward.Thanks as always for helping keep Swim Standards accurate and up-to-date!
If you notice anything that looks off with team listings or rankings, feel free to reach out to support@swimstandards.com.— The Swim Standards Team 🏊♂️💙

What Do the Colors Mean on Swim Standards? (Ribbon vs. FINA Themes Explained)Swim Standards uses two distinct color systems across its platform – each designed for a different purpose:
- Ribbon Colors — for rankings and placements
- Heatmap Colors — for FINA (World Aquatics) performance points
These color systems serve different goals, but both make results easier to read and understand at a glance.
🏅 1️⃣ Ribbon Colors — For Rankings & Placement
This theme is inspired by swimming award ribbons and meet podium colors, used wherever Swim Standards displays rankings, places, or score positions (e.g., “Top 8”).
Place Color Meaning 1st Blue Traditional first-place ribbon 2nd Red Second-place 3rd White Third-place (used in many LSC award sets) 4th Yellow Excellent performance 5th Black High-level finalist 6th Green Solid achievement 7th Purple Finalist / emerging 8th Brown Participation / completion 9th+ Gray Outside award range 🧩 These colors appear in Rankings, Leaderboards, and Meet Results “Top 8” views, matching what swimmers often see on award ribbons at meets.
🔥 2️⃣ Heatmap Colors — For FINA Point Analysis
When analyzing swim quality (FINA or World Aquatics Points), Swim Standards uses a heatmap-based scale that reflects performance level — from developing to record-breaking.
FINA Points Range Color Meaning 1000+ ⚫ Black Record-level or world-record equivalent 900–999 🔴 Red World-class performance 800–899 🔵 Blue National elite 600–799 🟡 Yellow Regional / advanced age-group 400–599 🟢 Green Developing swimmer Below 400 🟤 Brown Entry-level / early progress 🌡️ This palette behaves like a “heatmap” — darker colors represent stronger, higher-level performances.
🧮 Reality Check: FINA vs USA Motivational Standards
Group Example Approx. FINA Range Notes World-class Top international swimmers 900 – 999 + Equivalent to elite senior-level times (e.g., national team / international medalists). National Elite USA National or Junior National qualifiers 800 – 899 Roughly corresponds to AAAA for older teens (15–18), but for younger ages (13–14), AAAA is often only 650 – 750 FINA. Regional / Age-Group Advanced LSC Champs / Zone swimmers 600 – 799 Typical A–AAAA range for ages 11–14. Developing Club or B/BB level 400 – 599 Meets local meet standards (BB–A). Entry-level New / early progress swimmers < 400 Below B level.
⚠️ Why AAAA ≈ 800 Isn’t Always True
FINA Points are age-neutral and event-based, while Motivational Standards are age-relative.
That means:- A 16-year-old AAAA 100 Free might be ~810 FINA
- A 13-year-old AAAA 100 Free might be ~700 FINA
