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.

    I 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.

    Thank you, @ReedK27! SwimStandards.com was originally created for USA club swimming, where age is required to calculate powerpoints and time standards (e.g., A/B times). We know SwimCloud supports high school meets and college meets, but SwimCloud does not display swimmer ages, so we cannot directly import their data. @ReedK27 and @Marlene-Kilpatrick, thank you both for joining the discussion. High school meets use school year instead of age, and high school teams instead of club teams, which are not fully supported in our system. Additionally, high school dual meet results include scoring, which is also missing in our current system designed for USA club swimming. If a high school meet is run using Hy-Tek Meet Manager and we can obtain the meet results from the LSC’s observed meets, we are able to import them (although we do skip some swimmers who don’t have age information). To fully support high school meets, we are planning to set up a separate database, similar to what we’ve done for some summer league teams. The main barrier is getting the meet results, so we’ll contact high school associations like MHSAA and CHSAA to see if they’re willing to provide us with the data.
