Next Age Group Standards Feature:
Discover how your current time stacks up after you age up—all directly from your fastest times table.

Read the Forum Post

We're excited to introduce a brand new way to help swimmers and coaches track long-term progress — the Next Age Group Standards popup is now live!

This feature gives swimmers a chance to preview how their current time stacks up to the standards they'll face after they age up — making it easier to stay motivated and prepare for what's next.

---

Where Can You Find It?

This feature is available on the Fastest Times table found on every swimmer’s profile page.
You’ll see tabs for each age group — just click the next age group tab (e.g. from “13–14” to “15–16”) to see the qualifying times for the next division.

---

How It Works:

• The table updates to show the next age group’s motivational standards (e.g. B, BB, A, AA, AAA, AAAA).
• Each row shows:
  • Standard Level (e.g. A, AA)
  • Qualifying Time
  • Time Difference between the swimmer’s best time and the target

This lets swimmers and coaches instantly see how close they are to meeting future goals — a great tool for long-term planning and season strategy.

---

🧠 Why It Matters

Understanding how your times measure up in the next age group can:

• Help you set realistic training goals
• Show where you already exceed next-level standards
• Keep younger swimmers engaged and forward-looking

It’s all about giving you the insight to plan ahead — not just for today, but for where you're going next.

New Extra Standards Popup Feature: Quickly access qualification times directly from your fastest times table. Read the Forum Post

We’re excited to announce the release of our new Extra Standards Popup feature! This popup provides swimmers and coaches with an easy, dynamic way to view additional qualification times for any event. Depending on the swimmer’s age and the standard they’re targeting, the popup adapts to show either age‐group or open qualification times.

Where Can You Find It?

The popup is triggered by a plus icon that sits next to the motivational standard on the fastest times table on the swimmer’s profile page. When you click the icon, the popup dynamically loads the extra standards for the event

How It Works:

• For Open Swimmers (15 & Older, and for those 13–14 achieving AAAA):
  The popup displays the “open” standards—which include national and zone senior qualification times—in a clean, tabular format. The table includes three columns:
  • Meet: The qualification standard (with a clickable link to the full standard page)
  • QT: The qualifying time
  • Diff: The difference between the swimmer’s time and the qualifying time
    A close (“X”) button appears at the top-right for easy dismissal.
• For Age Group Swimmers (14 and Under):
  The popup uses the age-group lookup to show qualification times tailored to specific age ranges (e.g. “10&Under”, “11-12”, “13-14”). This ensures younger swimmers see the standards that apply exactly to their category.

What if No Standards Are Found?

If our predefined meets don’t include qualification times for the selected event, the popup informs the user that the data isn’t available from our curated list. However, quick links are provided below the table so you can still explore the complete set of standards:
• National: Full set of national standards
• NCSA: NCSA qualification times
• Zone: Zone-specific standards (based on the selected zone)
• LSCs: If applicable, standards by LSC

Screenshots:

This new feature is designed to give you a quick glance at your performance versus the qualifying cuts while providing direct links to a more comprehensive set of standards if needed. We hope this helps you better track your progress and target improvements.

Your feedback is welcome!
