@Shiny_Walrus408 Thank you for the explanation. Your club name has been corrected to CAC Boulder Riptide

Thanks for flagging this.

We pulled results from multiple sources, which caused some naming issues and duplicate swimmers. We can fix both.

I see CAC already listed:
https://swimstandards.com/clubs/co/colorado-athletic-club

Can you confirm if CAC Riptide is the same club or different?

For duplicate swimmers, please email the list (names/links) to support@swimstandards.com.

Thanks,
Adam

Previously, this feature was shown as Club Swimmers. We have renamed the component to Club Roster and updated the ranking formula, so this post explains the current roster-ranking method.

Our goal is to rank swimmers using a more complete view of performance, with an emphasis on power points, depth across events, and strength of standards achieved.

What data is used

Club roster rankings are based on swims from the selected season.

We look at swimmers who have at least one USA Swimming motivational standard at the B level or higher during the selected season. For roster ranking, scoring is deduplicated by event, so each event counts only once per swimmer and only that swimmer’s best power-point score for the event is used. Age group and course do not create separate scoring events, which means versions such as 50 Freestyle SCY and 50 Freestyle LCM are treated as the same event for roster scoring.

How swimmers are ranked

Swimmers are ranked by Score, then tie-breakers:

• Score = top 5 power points total
• Tie-breaker 1 = best power point
• Tie-breaker 2 = stronger standards profile
• Final tie-breakers = performance score and total qualified events

What “stronger standards profile” means

If two swimmers have the same Score and best power point, we compare the strength of their standards profile.

A swimmer with more AAAA swims ranks ahead of one with fewer AAAA swims. If that is still tied, we compare AAA swims, then AA, then A, then BB, then B.

This helps reward not just one standout swim, but the overall quality of a swimmer’s event lineup.

Performance Score

As an additional tie-breaker, we calculate a Performance Score:

• AAAA × 7
• AAA × 6
• AA × 5
• A × 4
• BB × 3
• B × 2

This gives extra weight to swimmers who consistently perform at higher standards across multiple events.

Why we changed the method

Our previous club ranking approach relied more heavily on club size and on counting how many events a swimmer achieved within a selected standards range. The new method is more consistent across teams and does a better job highlighting swimmers with stronger overall performance quality.

What you see on club pages

On club roster pages, swimmers are shown in rank order based on this formula. Each swimmer row may include:

• total qualified events
• standards breakdown
• Score
• best power point

This makes it easier to understand both rank and the performance behind it.

Open to improvement

As always, we are open to feedback. Ranking swimmers is not a perfect science, and there are different ways to value depth, versatility, and peak performance. We will continue refining the experience as we learn from swimmers, parents, and coaches.

You can explore club rosters by visiting: https://swimstandards.com/clubs

Note: Viewing the full club roster is available to registered users only. Visitors who are not logged in can see the top 25 swimmers, and a free Swim Standards account is required to unlock the complete roster.

USA Swimming is expanding recognition of stroke 50s (50 Fly, 50 Back, 50 Breast) for 15–18 swimmers, following the addition of these events to the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games program.

Previously, these events were only formally recognized through the 13–14 age group. With renewed national focus, USA Swimming has confirmed that National Age Group (NAG) Records will now also be tracked for:

• 15–16
• 17–18

What’s updated on Swim Standards

We’ve fully implemented support for these events across the platform:

• Added 50 Fly, 50 Back, 50 Breast for 15–16 and 17–18
• Integrated 2024–2028 USA Swimming time standards
• Created NAG record support across SCY, SCM, and LCM
• Enabled season-aware rankings validation (25–26 and beyond)
• Backfilled historical swims that previously showed “NA” standards
• Updated rankings data across all LSCs and stroke collections
• Improved mobile display (invalid/sentinel points now show as N/A)

Result

These events are now:

• Fully recognized in rankings
• Properly scored with standards
• Historically consistent (no more missing standards for past swims)

@merry_tang360 is it this one? https://swimstandards.com/meets/2026-ca-rmdascs-14-under-spring-age-group-championships-0312

@merry_tang360
Thank you for reaching out. It looks like there is a delay, as the results have not yet been posted on the SCS website. We will add them as soon as they become available.

We’ve updated the Specialty section on swimmer profiles and dashboards to give a more balanced view of event strengths across strokes and race types.

How Specialty (v2) works

This profile uses power points from your best event/course entries.

Examples:

• 100 Fly SCY
• 200 Fly LCM

We normalize the display to a fixed ceiling:

• 1200 points = 100%
• Example: 820 points = about 68.3%

Stroke Radar

The stroke radar uses a weighted average of your top 3 entries in each stroke:

• Top 1 = 1.0x
• Top 2 = 0.75x
• Top 3 = 0.5x

This helps reduce noise from one single standout swim and gives a more stable picture of overall specialty.

Sprint / Mid / Distance

We also show a Sprint / Mid / Distance profile using the same weighted method.

Buckets:

• Sprint: 50 / 100
• Mid: 200 / 400 / 500
• Distance: 1000+

Data Confidence

On the radar tooltip, n means the number of valid event/course entries counted for that stroke before top-3 weighting.

If a swimmer has fewer than 5 total entries, we show a Limited Data badge to indicate the profile may shift quickly as more results are added.

Why we changed it

The goal of Specialty (v2) is to make the profile:

• more stable
• less dependent on one swim
• easier to compare across strokes
• more useful for swimmers, parents, and coaches

If you have feedback on the new Specialty profile, reply in this thread.

We just rolled out a dashboard update to make it easier for swim families to track progress throughout the season.

@Lofty_Krill807 The Illinois LSC does not publish the meet results files on their website. We’ve reached out to the meet directors for both meets and are waiting to see if they can provide the official results.

If we’re unable to obtain the files, feel free to send your swimmer’s name and times (Meet Mobile screenshots are fine) to results@swimstandards.com, and we can manually enter them for you.

As part of our recent move to a Single Sign-On (SSO) system, some forum usernames were automatically regenerated to ensure they are unique across the Swim Standards platform.

If your username was changed, no action is required — your account and data are unaffected.

You can now update your username anytime:

1. Log in to your account at https://swimstandards.com/account
2. Go to the Your Info section
3. Edit your username

If you run into any issues or cannot change it to your preferred name, please reach out and we’ll assist.

Thank you for your patience during the transition.

Could you share the swimmer’s team and LSC? You can DM me if you prefer.

SWIMS does not publish 25 Yard times in its data feed, so if the meet was synced from SWIMS, those times won’t come through automatically. In those cases, we can try sourcing the results from a different file if available.

Once I have the team/LSC or meet name, I’ll take a closer look.

📊 FAQ: Why is an 11-Year-Old Still Ranked in 10-and-Under?

Short answer: Rankings are based on the swimmer’s age at the time of the swim, not their current age.

How Swim Standards Rankings Work

Swim Standards uses season-based rankings, for every swim:

• The swimmer’s age on the date of that swim determines the age group
• That swim stays in that age group for the entire season

Why This Happens

It’s common for swimmers to age up during a season.

For example:

• A swimmer competes in October at age 10 → swim ranks in 10-and-Under
• The same swimmer turns 11 in December
• Their earlier swims remain in 10U rankings
• Any swims after turning 11 appear in 11–12 rankings

Because of this, a swimmer may:

• Appear in both age groups during the same season
• Still show up in 10U rankings even though they are now 11

Wishing you faster swims, personal bests, and strong finishes in 2026!

Thank you so much! This should be fixed now. @Bold_Archer441
