Hi Marlene,

We retrieve Colorado Sanctioned High School Meet results from the CO LSC website: https://www.gomotionapp.com/team/wzcolsc/page/calendar#/team-events/past. However, it looks like the 5A results haven’t been published for some reason.

For Arizona meets, we primarily access results from SWIMS, so the 2025 SAC Bob Platt Memorial Invite was missing. But we were able to find the results from the hosting site, and they should now be available.

If you notice any missing results or have meet files (preferably TM ZIP format), please upload them here or email us at results@swimstandards.com.

Thank you for trusting and supporting SwimStandards!

02/13/2025 - Major Update to IMX Calculation & Certificate Generation (https://community.swimstandards.com/topic/118/major-update-to-imx-calculation-certificate-generation?_=1739474002873)

adam

We’ve rolled out a significant update to how IMX scores are calculated and how you can generate IMX certificates on Swim Standards. Here’s what’s new:

IMX Score Refresh (2022-2023 to Present)
We have recalculated all IMX scores from the 2022-2023 season through the current season to incorporate the age-up calculation. This means that when a swimmer ages up within a season, their best times from the lower age group are carried over if they remain their fastest swims.
Learn more about how IMX scores are calculated when a swimmer ages up

Updated Rankings
Since IMX scores have been refreshed, IMX rankings have also been updated accordingly.
Check out the latest rankings here: IMX Rankings

IMX Certificate Generation Improvements
We’ve enhanced the IMX Certificate Generator to give you full control over the details. You can now edit all certificate information, including:
️ Swimmer name, team, coach, and title
️ IMX score and rankings
️ Event scores and times

Due to potential data gaps (e.g., missing meet results), some event scores may be incomplete. Now, you can manually adjust any information on the Preview page before printing.

Q: Why does my Power Point score on Swim Standards sometimes differ from USA Swimming’s?
A: We use USA Swimming’s Power Point tables to convert times into points. However, USA Swimming does not provide a point value for every possible time—only specific times have exact Power Points assigned.

If a swimmer’s time falls between two official point values, we:
Always use the lower point value (rounding down).

Example:

1:00.50 = 500 points
1:00.49 = 501 points
1:00.48 is missing from USA Swimming’s table

→ We assign 500 points to 1:00.48 (always rounding down).

Why does USA Swimming sometimes show a 1-point difference?
USA Swimming may use a proprietary formula to estimate points for missing times, possibly rounding up or averaging values. Since we don’t have access to their exact algorithm, we always round down to ensure consistency.

This is why you may occasionally see a 1-point difference between Swim Standards and USA Swimming.

Q: What happens if a swimmer ages up during the season?
A: IMX scores are calculated based on a single age within a single season (September 1 – August 31). However, swimmers often age up mid-season, which means their best times from the younger age might still be their fastest in the season.

To ensure fairness, if a swimmer ages up, we:

Carry over their best times from the younger age group, as long as they were the fastest times achieved that season.
Recalculate their Power Points using the new age group’s scoring table.

Example:

A swimmer starts the season at age 11 and turns 12 in March.
Their best 200 IM time as an 11-year-old was in January (let’s say 2:30.00).
They swim the 200 IM again in May, but their time is slower (2:31.00).
Since we use the best times from the season, we keep 2:30.00 in their IMX score at age 12, but recalculate the Power Points for a 12-year-old.

This ensures swimmers’ best performances count, even if they age up mid-season.

Hello! Thank you so much for your kind words and support!

Both swimmers’ profiles have been merged, including results from different LSCs. If you notice anything else that needs adjusting, feel free to reach out.

We’re excited to introduce a new option in our Event Rankings—Open Rankings!

Previously, rankings were categorized by age groups such as:
8 & Under
9-10
11-12
13-14
15-16
17-18

Now, we’ve added a new selection in the dropdown:
Open (13-18)

When you select Open, the rankings will display all swimmers aged 13-18 together, instead of separating them into individual age groups.

How to Use Open Rankings?

1️⃣ Go to the Rankings page (https://swimstandards.com/rankings).
2️⃣ Click on the Age Group dropdown.
3️⃣ Select “Open” from the list.
4️⃣ View rankings for all swimmers aged 13-18 in a single list!

Example Screenshot:

This feature gives you a broader view of top performances across multiple age groups while still maintaining gender and event-based filtering.

Have feedback?

We’d love to hear your thoughts! Try out Open Rankings and let us know if you have any suggestions or questions.

Thank you so much! The meet information has been updated now.

adam

Hello @ARIN-Keskin

Thanks for reaching out!

We do our best to capture data from as many swim meets as possible, but we’re not affiliated with USA Swimming. Most of our data comes from results published by Local Swimming Committees (LSCs). For example, results for the New Year Splash would come from Pacific Swimming (PC LSC). Pacific Swimming usually posts results pretty quickly, so for meets hosted on the weekend, we can often get them by Monday.

However, we just realized we missed many January meets from Pacific Swimming. The good news is that those results have now been added! Feel free to check them out and let us know if you have any other questions.

Cheers,
Adam

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.

adam

@ReedK27 Yes, currently, we only add MI Observed meets from here: https://www.miswim.org/page/events/2024-2025-sc-info–results.
Can you share where they post the dual meet results?

adam

We currently only support some LSC observed high school swimming meets. Those meets are typically marked on the meet page like below:

Which state’s high school results you’re interested in? We’re planning to launch a dedicated high school meet microsite. and we may prioritize starting with your state.

12/19/2024 - added age column for 9 & under IMX Rankings.

IMX/IMR rankings are determined based on individual age groups for swimmers aged 10 through 18, while swimmers aged 9 & Under are ranked together as a single group. Swimmers aged 19 and older are not included in these rankings.
