This week's pool was big: the database matched more than 234,000 swim records in the window, covering just over 51,000 unique swimmer entries. The board keeps each swimmer's single best power-points swim, ranks the top ten in each age group and sex (ties at the cutoff included), and allows any event. If you want to see how a particular swim scores, the Power Points Calculator will do it in seconds.

The headline swims

Tan's 50 fly is the story at the top, but it also shows why power points are worth reading alongside the clock. The fastest raw time on the board belongs to 18-year-old Brady Campbell, whose 21.32 in the same event is 0.54 seconds quicker than Tan's. Tan, though, scores 98 more points (1,091 to 993), because a 21.86 at 14 is a much rarer swim than the same event at 18.

Beyond the top three, the 1,000-club includes Molin Qian (11, 100 breast, 1,041), Robert Legg (10, 500 free, 1,037), Nicolas Lahre (11, 1650 free, 1,026), Janiel Espinosa (13, 100 back, 1,016), Addie Farrier (10, 50 fly, 1,014), Owen Ekk (18, 200 IM, 1,010), Lillie Dirito (14, 50 back, 1,004), Kylee Crotts (17, 50 back, 1,002) and Eli Kim (13, 400 IM, 1,000).

10 & Under: nine-year-olds and the 500 free

Nine-year-olds hold 13 of the 20 spots in this age group, and the boys' side turns on the 500 free. Liixin Zhang's 5:31.70 tops the list at 1,067 points, ahead of Robert Legg's 1,037 for a 5:09.25. Legg is 22 seconds faster on the clock but a year older, and the points reflect that. Porter Pitti, also nine, takes sixth at 880 with a 6:01.06. Elsewhere, Tatsumasa Sekine (9, 100 fly, 1:06.89) and Arthur Groose (9, 50 back, 31.39) sit at 956 and 954. Sekine's club teammate Rubix Szolusha is seventh with a faster 1:04.52, but at 10 he scores 871. The ninth-place tie at 862 pairs Austin Ren, 10, with Dylan Kemmish, 9, in the 100 IM; Ren's 1:06.89 is nearly five seconds faster than Kemmish's 1:11.75, yet the points come out identical.

On the girls' side, the 50 fly claims five of the ten spots. Farrier is the only girl in the group over 1,000, with a 26.95. Behind her, Adaleen Cho (29.73, 971), Emma Liu (29.74, 970) and Nya Ferguson (29.80, 966) are separated by seven hundredths of a second, with the same age and nearly the same score. The age lens shows up again in the 100 back, where nine-year-old Sophia Lee-Park (1:08.81, 962) ranks ahead of 10-year-old Audrey Hook (1:03.63, 939). Patricia Kaawa (50 breast, 35.97), Ellen Chae (500 free, 5:35.31) and Magdalene Roberts (50 fly, 30.88) round out the AAAA swims, while Yuguo Li's 1:21.05 in the 100 breast, at 872, is the only AAA time on the girls' list.

11–12: distance, IM and a breaststroke star

Vanessa Kuo, 12, leads the girls with a 10:16.26 in the 1000 free (971). Yipeng Wang is next with a 31.39 in the 50 breast (926), and Leah Bearyman follows with a 26.95 in the 50 fly (911). That is the exact time Farrier swam, and it is worth 103 fewer points at 11 than at 10, a tidy illustration of how steeply the scoring moves from year to year at these ages.

The 400 IM is the group's other signature. Three 11-year-olds hold ranks four, five and eight: Elizabeth Burke (4:46.56, 909), Jessica Palattao (4:47.20, 904) and Olivia Choi (4:48.59, 894), all within about two seconds of each other. Anna Ringh (100 IM, 1:02.56, 902), the 12-year-old 50 back pair of Shelby Bigby (27.55) and Billie Briggs (27.68), and Olivia Vaden (200 fly, 2:17.90, the group's one AAA among the girls) complete the list.

The boys' list has a pronounced top end. Molin Qian's 1:04.93 in the 100 breast (1,041) and Nicolas Lahre's 17:40.76 in the 1650 (1,026) both clear 1,000, and then the board drops 82 points to Ethan Huynh (200 back, 2:11.70, 944). The 400 IM again offers a clean age comparison: 12-year-old Oscar Jovic swam a 4:28.06, about 19 seconds faster than 11-year-old Daniel Radchenko Avondo's 4:47.14, but lands 24 points behind him (893 to 917). The rest of the list: Hunter Gumbayan (200 free, 1:49.09, 928), Anton-David Bernstein (100 back, 56.51, 920), Maxim Pisanka (200 breast, 2:33.80, 907), Taylor DeLuca (200 back, 2:14.29, 901) and George Xuan (100 breast, 1:09.76, 897).

13–14: a backstroke wave and a butterfly quartet

Six of the 11 girls' entries (a tie at the cutoff adds an extra row) are backstrokers. Lillie Dirito leads with a 25.37 in the 50 back, the only 1,000-point score in the group, and she's joined by Mary Tolar (100 back, 55.03, 931), Ivy Zhang (50 back, 26.75, 929), Sage Searle (200 back, 2:01.75, 913), Gretchen Myers (50 back, 26.31, 909) and Lucy Simmons (50 back, 26.95, 909). The non-backstrokers are no slouches either: Zaryna Wardlay is second at 971 with a 49.15 in the 100 free, Olivia Holt (100 fly, 54.47) and Isla Rapcan (100 breast, 1:02.50) sit at 917 and 916, and Naiya DeSilva (100 fly, 55.71) and Kate Allen (200 free, 1:48.59) tie for seventh at 915.

The boys' list is almost entirely 13-year-olds, eight of the ten, with Tan and Ryan Yao the two 14-year-olds. Yao's 1:50.55 in the 200 IM scores 999, one point shy of the 1,000 line. Espinosa and Kim lead the 13-year-olds, and Beckum Rychnovsky (1000 free, 9:33.70, 990) is close behind. Butterfly gets a quartet of its own: Tan's 50, Aaron Tong's 200 (1:54.63, 977), Caleb Goodavish's 100 (51.91, 975) and Connor Ventura's 50 (23.98, 973). Alex Kirsling (200 back, 1:54.37, 967) and Lochlan Thompson (100 breast, 59.41, 966) close out the group.

15–18: more backstroke, and an IM-heavy boys' list

The girls' board mirrors the 13–14 group's backstroke theme even more strongly: seven of the ten entries are backstrokers. Kylee Crotts leads with a 25.01 in the 50 back, and Ella Busquets is three hundredths behind at 25.04 (999 points to Crotts's 1,002). The 100 back adds Ellie Clarke (53.43, 967), Daniela Linares Danzos (53.50, 964), Michelle Dean (53.65, 957) and Sydney Hardy (54.06, 948), with Khanh Seaton (50 back, 25.53, 948) tied alongside Hardy. Breaststroke interrupts the run at third, where Mikayla Tan went 27.99 in the 50 breast (987), and Grace Koenig-Song shares sixth with Dean at 957 after a 28.38. Jianna Amores rounds out the top ten with a 52.76 in the 100 fly (945).

The boys' list is tightly packed behind its leaders. Mijatovic's 4:06.37 in the 500 free sets the standard, and Owen Ekk's 1:43.62 in the 200 IM is next at 1,010. After that, ranks three through nine span just 12 points, from 995 to 983. Daniel Mulla (15, 50 fly, 22.15) and Fedor Igoshin (15, 400 IM, 3:49.80) tie for third at 995. Mulla's 22.15 is 0.83 slower than Campbell's 21.32, but he edges him on points, 995 to 993, a reminder of the age lens again. Then come Matthew Cuadros (100 breast, 54.18, 989), Justin Shi (200 fly, 1:43.68, 987) and Yi Zheng (400 IM, 3:45.19, 984), while Shareef Elaydi (100 breast, 53.51) and Caleb Caponera (200 IM, 1:46.57) share ninth at 983. Every entry in the 13–14 and 15–18 groups is a AAAA swim.

Where the swimmers come from

By LSC code, pc (Pacific Swimming) is the most represented on this week's board, with 15 of the 81 entries, six of them from PLS alone (Legg, Zhang, Searle, Kim, Linares Danzos and Mijatovic). Several smaller clusters stand out too. The gu code has five swimmers spread across the 10&U, 11–12 and 13–14 groups, between FCST (Liu, Ren, Bigby) and BTA (Briggs, Simmons). Indiana's CSC places four, one each in the 11–12 boys, 13–14 girls, 15–18 girls and 15–18 boys lists.

Week at a Glance

The week's top-line number is Ayden Tan's 1,091, but the more telling pattern is how consistently the board rewards swimmers who are young for their group: 13 of the 20 entries in 10&U are nine-year-olds, seven of the ten girls in 11–12 are 11, and eight of the ten boys in 13–14 are 13. Backstroke stood out most on the girls' side, accounting for 17 of the 41 girls' entries across the four age groups, versus 8 of 40 on the boys' side. And the points needed for tenth place rise with age: 872 for girls and 862 for boys in 10&U, 882 and 893 in 11–12, 909 and 966 in 13–14, and 945 and 983 in 15–18. The data here can't say why, but it's a useful benchmark if you're checking where a swim would land.

Rankings use power points as the primary metric, with ties broken by time, then by the date a swim was added. Each swimmer appears once per age-and-sex group, with their best-scoring swim of the window, and any event is eligible. The window reflects when swims were added to the SwimStandards database (November 5–11, 2026), not necessarily when the meets took place. Names, teams and codes appear as recorded in the database. Full rankings and swimmer profiles are on SwimStandards.
