  • USA Swimming Scoring
    SSEditorS SSEditor

    USA Swimming uses a specific scoring system for swim meets, which varies depending on the type of meet and pool size. Here's a breakdown of how scoring works:

    Dual Meets

    • Individual events: 5-3-1-0
    • Relays: 7-0

    This means

    • For individual events, the point values are 5 for first place, 3 for second place, 1 for third place, and 0 for fourth place.
    • For relays, the point values are 7 for first place and 0 for second place.

    Triangular Meets

    • Individual events: 6-4-3-2-1-0
    • Relays: 8-4-0

    All Other Meets

    • Individual events (Individual point values shall be doubled for relays):
      • 4-lane pools: 5-3-2-1
      • 5-lane pools: 6-4-3-2-1
      • 6-lane pools: 7-5-4-3-2-1
      • 7-lane pools: 8-6-5-4-3-2-1
      • 8-lane pools: 9-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
      • 9-lane pools: 10-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
      • 10-lane pools: 11-9-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

    When consolation and championship finals swim, scoring shall be as follows for individual events (Individual point values shall be doubled for relays, even when relays swim as timed finals):

    • 6-lane pools (12 places):
      • A (final): 16-13-12-11-10-9
      • B (consolation): 7-5-4-3-2-1
    • 7-lane pools (14 places):
      • A (final): 18-15-14-13-12-11-10
      • B (consolation): 8-6-5-4-3-2-1
    • 8-lane pools (16 places):
      • A (final): 20-17-16-15-14-13-12-11
      • B (consolation): 9-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
    • 9-lane pools (18 places):
      • A (final): 22-19-18-17-16-15-14-13-12
      • B (consolation): 10-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
    • 10-lane pools (20 places):
      • A (final): 24-21-20-19-18-17-16-15-14-13
      • B (consolation): 11-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

    In swimming, consolation refers to a secondary or consolation final in a multi-round event where swimmers who did not qualify for the main or championship final compete for a lower placement or ranking. The consolation final usually swarms immediately before the championship final and may be called the "B final".

  • USA Swimming Motivational Time Standards Explained
    SSEditorS SSEditor

    Age group motivational time standards are established on a four-year basis. For instance, as of now, the latest standards cover the period from September 1, 2020, to August 31, 2024. These standards play a crucial role in swimming and serve multiple purposes. They are used to set goals, control the size of swim meets, and provide a means of comparison among swimmers. USA Swimming publishes a set of time standards known as the Top-16 Based Time Standards, categorized as B, BB, A, AA, AAA, and AAAA (refer to the second page for short course yards).

    One of the key reasons behind these standards is their utility in setting goals for swimmers. Additionally, they help regulate the size of swim meets by having fewer swimmers at higher/faster levels of the standards. This means that as the standards become faster, fewer swimmers can achieve them. It's worth noting that nearly all swimming federations worldwide employ some form of stepped standards within their systems.

    These standards also offer swimmers a general idea of how they compare to others in their age group and even between different age groups. However, when comparing swimmers, raw times work better within age groups. It's important to understand that just because a swimmer achieves "AAA" times as a 10 & Under, it doesn't guarantee the same performance as a 13-14. Several factors contribute to this variation, such as different maturation rates, changing interests, and even injuries.

    So, how are age group motivational standards determined? They are established based on percentiles. Here are the percentiles associated with each standard:

    AAAA: 98% - This standard means your swimmer is ranked in the top 2% of swimmers in their age group, of the same sex, in that specific stroke and distance.
    AAA: 94% - This standard means your swimmer is ranked in the top 6% of swimmers in their age group, of the same sex, in that stroke and distance.
    AA: 92% - This standard means your swimmer is ranked in the top 8% of swimmers in their age group, of the same sex, in that stroke and distance.
    A: 85% - This standard means your swimmer is ranked in the top 15% of swimmers in their age group, of the same sex, in that stroke and distance.
    BB: 65% - This standard means your swimmer is ranked in the top 35% of swimmers in their age group, of the same sex, in that stroke and distance.
    B: 45% - This standard means your swimmer is ranked in the top 55% of swimmers in their age group, of the same sex, in that stroke and distance.
    C: This standard is for all swimmers with times below the "B" standard. Any time from 0.00 up to the "B" standard is considered a "C" time.

    It is noteworthy that:

    1. USA Swimming age group start at 10&U, so all 10&U use the same time standards
    2. Only Recommend Events have time standards, for example, 13-14 age group don't have time standard for 50Fly, because it's not a recommended event for age 13&above.
    3. At SwimStandards.com, if the time standard is less than B, or not available, we use N/A for simplification purposes.
    4. Normally we use age group motivational time, but here is the one available for single age.

    It is common for swimmers to have different time standards for different strokes. They may even have different standards for the same stroke but different distances. As swimmers mature, their best stroke and preferred distances may change. It is recommended that swimmers avoid specializing until they have completed physical maturation. Swimming all the strokes and distances can improve both their physical and mental development throughout their career.

    To sum it up, time standards are valuable for setting goals and motivating swimmers. However, improvement should not be solely focused on meeting these standards. It is important to be patient and let swimmers progress at their own pace. Remember, each swimmer is an individual with unique abilities, and their development will occur at their own rate. Comparing their success to that of others is not productive or fair. Time standards should be used as a tool for personal growth and self-motivation. Let your swimmers enjoy the journey, and as they continue to swim all strokes and distances, they will enhance their physical and mental development throughout their swimming career.

  • May 2026 LCM Monthly Top Performances: Season Opener Delivers 1,000-Point Marks and Multi-Event Stars
    SSEditorS SSEditor

    Data via Swim Standards · Long Course Meters · May 2026


    The long course season is underway, and May did not disappoint. From elite junior invitationals to TYR Pro Swim Series action in Sacramento, swimmers across every age group posted standout performances over the course of the month. Swim Standards tracked the top six power-point scores in each event across both the girls' and boys' fields, and the results paint a picture of a LCM season that arrived in full force.

    A handful of names put together performances across multiple events, several athletes broke the 1,000-point threshold that marks truly elite age-group swims, and a few very young swimmers logged scores that would turn heads in any age group. Here's how May shook out, event by event.


    Girls' Top Performances

    100 Backstroke

    The girls' 100 back produced two 1,000-point swims to lead the month. Callie Yue of Nation's Capital Swim Club (PV) logged a 1:17.54 at the 2026 Long Course Spring Invitational for 1,006 points — a remarkable score for a 9-year-old. Gabriella Brito of Beach Cities Swimming (SCS) joined her above the 1,000-point mark with a 1:01.28 at the NOVA-Speedo Grand Challenge for 1,001 points.

Mikayla Tan of San Ramon Valley Aquatics came in a point behind at 980 with a 1:08.16 at the TYR Pro Swim Series in Sacramento. The event also featured international flair — Keahne Bergin and Coco Mcgrath of Swimming Australia both appeared via the XIV 2026 Oceania Swimming Championships.

    50 Backstroke, 50 Breaststroke, 50 Freestyle, 50 Butterfly

    Among the sprint events — contested primarily by younger age groups in long course — several performances stand out. Gabriella Brito headlined the 50 free with 966 points (25.28, NOVA-Speedo Grand Challenge), her fourth event appearance in May. Albane Cachot was second at 943. Nine-year-old Jacqueline Kuo of California Dolphin Swim Team (928) and Kaila Perry of Crystal Coast Aquatics (926) filled out the lower half of the sprint free board.


    Boys' Top Performances

    100 Backstroke

    The boys' 100 back was the most explosive individual event of the month for either gender. Elliot Leasure of Rochester Swim Club (MN) posted a 57.00 at the IL FMC Spring Into Season meet for 1,063 points — the highest single-event score on the entire boys' board in May. Jett Hatchard of Olympus Aquatics was second at 1,028 (1:00.42, Kearns LC Classic), and Grant Bellin of KING Aquatic Club logged 1,021 at the TYR Pro Swim Series Sacramento. The top three are all over 1,000 — a rare concentration of elite power-point scores in one event.

    Ten-year-old Gabriel Brown of Fishers Area Swimming Tigers cracked 1,004 points with a 1:11.18 — landing him on multiple leaderboards across the month.

  • The Difference Between Sanctioned, Approved, and Observed Swims
    SSEditorS SSEditor

    As the high school and college swim season progresses, many swimmers and coaches wonder whether their times can be entered into the USA Swimming SWIMS database. The classification of a meet determines whether times are officially recognized.

    Below is a breakdown of the three types of meets and what qualifies for official USA Swimming times.

    🏅 Sanctioned Events
    Sanctioned meets follow the full USA Swimming technical and administrative rules and are fully recognized by USA Swimming.

    ✅ Key Requirements & Benefits:

    • The meet must follow USA Swimming rules.
    • All times achieved are recognized by USA Swimming.
    • All participants (swimmers, officials, coaches, meet staff) must be USA Swimming members.
    • Full insurance coverage is provided for USA Swimming members and the host organization.

    📋 Approved Competitions
    Approved meets follow USA Swimming technical rules but may not require all participants to be USA Swimming members (e.g., YMCA meets).

    ✅ Key Points:

    • The meet must follow USA Swimming technical rules (e.g., proper timing equipment).
    • Times are recognized, but only for USA Swimming members.
    • Non-USA Swimming members can participate.
    • Insurance coverage depends on the host:
      • If hosted by a USA Swimming club, full insurance applies to USA Swimming members.
      • If hosted by a non-USA Swimming entity, insurance applies only to USA Swimming members participating under a USA Swimming club.

    🔍 Observed Swims
    Observed swims occur in meets run under other organizations' rules (e.g., high school, NCAA, IPC) but have USA Swimming-appointed officials observing swims to ensure compliance.

    ✅ Important Notes:

    • The meet does not follow full USA Swimming rules.
    • Only times from observed and approved swims are recognized.
    • Only USA Swimming members’ times are eligible for SWIMS.
    • No requirement for participants to be USA Swimming members.
    • No insurance coverage for swimmers or the host, except for designated USA Swimming Observers.

    📌 Which Times Count for SWIMS?

    Type of Meet Times Count for SWIMS? USA Swimming Membership Required? Full USA Swimming Rules?
    Sanctioned ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes
    Approved ✅ Yes (Only for USA Swimming members) ❌ No ✅ Yes (Technical rules only)
    Observed ✅ Yes (Only for observed swims & USA Swimming members) ❌ No ❌ No (Non-USA Swimming rules)

    ℹ️ Final Thoughts
    If you're aiming for times that qualify for USA Swimming rankings, records, or national meets, make sure your meet is either sanctioned or approved. If you're competing in high school or college meets, ensure USA Swimming officials are observing if you want those times to count.

    For more details, refer to 2024 of the USA Swimming Rules & Regulations.

  • LCM Power Points Leaderboard, Edition 6: June 4–10
    SSEditorS SSEditor

    The outdoor season is underway, and this week's long course meter leaderboard features standout performances across all eight age group divisions. Rankings are based on power points earned by swimmers with times logged in the SwimStandards database during the window of June 4–10, 2026. One swim per swimmer per division is counted, with the highest power point total determining placement.


    10 & Under

    Girls

    The 10&U girls leaderboard opens with a pair of nine-year-olds trading back-to-back backstroke performances. Emmilyn Hamilton of RAYS takes the top spot with an AAA-standard 38.01 in the 50 back (891 points), edging Avery Norman of FMC, whose 38.25 earned 877 points at the same standard. Rounding out the group, ten-year-old Lauren Lucero of SPAR contributed an AAAA-standard 38.98 in the 50 breast to also land at 877 points — a tie at third with Norman in raw points, though Norman holds the rank by tiebreaker.

    The boys side belongs to Gabriel Brown of FAST, who posted the highest power point total in the entire 10&U division — 1,024 points — on a 4:43.10 AAAA-standard 400 Free. That's a notable mark for a ten-year-old in long course. Behind him, a pair of nine-year-olds — Aurelius Lien of SCSC (5:23.87, 926 pts) and Jaeden Lin of LIAC (5:24.79, 920 pts) — both earned AAA standards in the same event, separated by less than a second.

    Girls

    The 1500 Free dominated the 11-12 girls leaderboard, with the top two finishers both clocking AAAA standards in that event. Sarah Chiang, 11, of PDST leads the group with a 19:10.59 (958 points). Morgan Huang, also 11, from LIAC — which appears twice in this week's overall results — comes in at 19:30.12 for 916 points. Twelve-year-old Ashley Lotano of JDST rounds out the group with a 29.22 in the 50 fly, good for an AAAA standard and 906 points.

    Boys

    The 11-12 boys produced the tightest, most competitive top three of any group this week — all three swimmers within 20 points of each other, and all posting AAAA standards. Nico Lahre, 11, of BGNW tops the leaderboard with a strong 19:03.20 in the 1500 Free (1,005 points), while Caleb Goodavish, 12, of VAST earned 997 points in the 100 Free with a 55.54 — an impressive sprint-to-distance range at the top of the division. Bryce Boudreau, 11, also from LIAC (MR), posted a 19:14.23 in the 1500 Free for 985 points to complete the group.

    Note: Boudreau swims for TVSC.

    Girls

    Lillie Dirito, 13, of YY takes the top spot in the 13-14 girls with a 1:04.31 in the 100 back — an AAAA standard worth 972 points. Zaryna Wardlay of MTRO brings the sprint on the 50 free, clocking 26.63 for 921 points, also at AAAA. Completing the trio, fourteen-year-old Lexie D'Amico, listed unattached out of Arkansas, swam a 1:12.85 in the 100 breast for 908 points.

    Boys

    Frederic Burks, 14, of XCEL leads the 13-14 boys with a 2:21.02 in the 200 breast, scoring 1,002 points at AAAA. Behind him, the 400 IM is the story: thirteen-year-old Jacob Garcia Villar of TFA posted a 4:41.97 (992 points), while Cai Lockett, 14, of NTRO went 4:34.45 for 969 points. Lockett's faster time actually translates to a lower power point score — a reminder that the points system accounts for age and event context, not raw speed alone.

    Cullen Kahl, 16, of MAC in Guam headlines the 15-18 boys with a 2:03.99 in the 200 IM — a strong AAAA mark worth 985 points. Behind him, the 100 breast produced a tight finish: fifteen-year-old Edmond Reynolds, unattached out of ST, posted a 1:04.88 (973 pts), while fellow 15-year-old Cullen Cashman of SSYS went 1:05.04 for 968 points. Just 0.16 seconds separated the two breaststrokers, with only five power points between them.

  • 🏊‍♀️ MCSL Coaches’ Long Course Invitational: How Seeding & Scratching Work (with Examples)
    SSEditorS SSEditor

    With the 2025 MCSL Coaches' Long Course Invitational coming up on Tuesday, July 8, here’s a clear guide to help swimmers, parents, and coaches understand:

    • How swimmers are selected
    • What “scratching” means
    • How to navigate strategic choices
    • Two real-world examples to show how this plays out

    🔹 Who Gets Invited?

    The top 8 swimmers in each individual event across MCSL are invited, based on:

    • The best legal SCM times from the first three A meets
    • No swim-ups are allowed — only times in your age group count
    • The next two swimmers (9th and 10th) are listed as alternates

    📊 View All-Star Rankings here — these are the pre-scratch rankings used to determine selections and seeding for the Long Course Invitational.


    🔹 What If There’s a Tie for 8th?

    Ties for 8th place are broken using each swimmer’s next best time from the first three meets.

    Example:
    Swimmer A: 30.10 and 30.30
    Swimmer B: 30.10 and 30.50
    ✅ Swimmer A gets the 8th spot.


    🔹 How Many Events Can a Swimmer Swim?

    A swimmer can compete in up to two individual events at the Long Course Meet.

    • If you qualify in 1 or 2 events, you're automatically entered.
    • If you qualify in more than 2, you must be reduced to two events.

    🔹 Is Scratching Required?

    No — scratching is optional (voluntary) before the deadline.

    • Swimmers may voluntarily scratch events they don’t want to swim by contacting the MCSL Automation Chair by the deadline (📅 Monday, June 30 at 9:00 PM).
    • If a swimmer qualifies in more than two events and does not scratch, MCSL will automatically scratch down to two events using the lowest time-to-record ratio.

    ⏳ After the deadline, swimmers can only scratch from the entire meet, not individual events.


    🔹 Can I Hold Out for an Alternate Spot?

    If a swimmer is already in the top 8 in two events, they cannot “opt out” of one to become eligible for a third event where they placed 9th or 10th.

    You’re only considered for an alternate spot if you were never top 8 in more than two events.


    🔍 EXAMPLE 1: Safe Strategy — Keep Control

    Swimmer Jane is:

    • 6th in 50 Back
    • 7th in 50 Free
    • 9th in 50 Fly

    Jane really prefers 50 Fly. She could:

    • Voluntarily scratch 50 Free or Back before the deadline to make herself eligible as an alternate in 50 Fly.

    ➡️ Pros: Full control over which event(s) she might swim
    ➡️ Cons: Risky — if no one scratches from 50 Fly, she won’t get to swim it


    🔍 EXAMPLE 2: Strategic Gamble — Let MCSL Decide

    Swimmer Max is:

    • 7th in 50 Breast
    • 8th in 100 Free
    • 9th in 50 Fly

    Max prefers 50 Fly, but it’s 9th — not guaranteed. He decides not to submit scratches.

    Then, after the deadline:

    • Several swimmers ahead of him scratch from 50 Fly
    • Max moves up to 6th place in all three events

    Now qualified in three events — MCSL will automatically scratch one using the time-to-record ratio, and Max might keep 50 Fly if it ranks best against the record.

    ➡️ Pros: Keeps all options open
    ➡️ Cons: No control — MCSL chooses which event gets dropped


    ✅ Final Tips for Families

    • Check Top Times after Week 3 to see where your swimmer stands
    • If your swimmer is in 3+ events, talk with coaches about whether to scratch

    Powered by SwimStandards.com | Rankings based on power points earned from times entered June 11–17, 2026


    The long course meters season is heating up across the country, and the latest leaderboard snapshot — covering performances logged June 11–17 — offers an early look at who's making noise in the pool this summer. Rankings are determined by age-adjusted power points, meaning the scores reward performance relative to age, not just raw speed. Every swimmer listed here posted an AAAA-level time, and all eight age-group winners crossed the 1,000-point threshold.

    3 Kensington Jones 9 PASA 100 Back 1:18.18 990

    Nine-year-old Alexa Jenner of PSC (Arizona) leads the 10&U girls with a 1:13.62 in the 100 fly worth 1,058 points. All three top performers are 9-year-olds, and notably all three chose butterfly or backstroke events — a sign of technical development at the younger end of age group swimming. Kensington Jones of PASA sits third on 990 points, just two points behind Kaila Perry of CCA.

    Gabriel Brown of FAST (Indiana) tops the 10&U boys with a 4:36.50 in the 400 free — an event that rewards both aerobic development and pacing discipline at this age. His 1,076 points lead the division. Nine-year-old Luke Gamino of TCA matches Alexa Jenner's points total (1,058) across genders with his 100 fly, while David Li of BREA posts a notably faster time (1:07.40) for 1,050 points — a reminder that older age within a bracket doesn't always translate to a higher point score.

James Davis of FAST rounds out the group with a 19:08.35 in the 1500 free, giving Indiana another top-three finish this week after Gabriel Brown's 10&U win. The 1500 free showing a strong footprint across both genders in this age group speaks to the event's power-points upside for developing distance swimmers.

That's a significant performance for a 14-year-old at the start of the long course season. Behind him, Sahiel Pai (1,054) and Daniel Bunge (1,042) both represent NOVA — notably, different club programs sharing the same name: Pai swims for NOVA of Southern California, while Bunge is with NOVA of Virginia.

  • June 2026 LCM Monthly Top Performances: Indianapolis Dominates as Young Stars Signal a Strong Season Ahead
    SSEditorS SSEditor

    Data via Swim Standards · Long Course Meters · June 2026


    The 2026 long course season hit its first major crescendo in June, with the TYR Pro Swim Series stop in Indianapolis serving as the month's anchor event. Across the girls' and boys' boards, a handful of swimmers defined the month not just with one strong performance but with multi-event campaigns that demonstrated range, depth, and genuine elite-level speed for their ages.

    Two names headline June in ways that demand attention up front. Rylee Erisman of Windermere Lakers put together one of the most complete multi-event months on the girls' side in recent memory — topping three event leaderboards and cracking 1,000 points in each.

    The month also continued the rise of several younger swimmers who were already turning heads in May, with Annabelle Hayes, Elliot Leasure, Ayden Tan, and Gabriel Brown all picking up right where they left off.


    A Note on Sprint Events

    The 50-meter events (50BK, 50BR, 50FL, and 50FR by time) do not have power-point values available in this dataset. For those events, rankings reflect times only, sorted fastest to slowest.


    Girls' Top Performances

    100 Backstroke

    Charlotte Crush of Lakeside Swim Team (KY) led the month with a 1,025-point performance (1:00.24, TYR Pro Swim Series Indianapolis), topping a board that was remarkably compressed at the top. Reina Liu of TAC Titans was right behind at 1,006 (1:00.70, CMC Triangle Classic) — her third multi-event month in a row putting up 1,000+ scores. On the power-points board, nine-year-old Kensington Jones of Palo Alto Stanford Aquatics and 13-year-old Lillie Dirito of York YMCA round out the top five with scores above 983, reflecting the age-adjusted nature of the system.

    The breaststroke boards belonged to the younger age groups in June. Payton Garnsey of Delaware Swim Team led on power points at 947 (1:11.58, June Classic), with Emma Fouke of CSP Tideriders second at 943. Four of the top six are 13 or 14 years old — a sign of how deep the 13-14 breaststroke group is shaping up this season.

Rylee Erisman was second at 987 (58.46), her fastest time of the four events she tops this month. Ten-year-old Adeline Farrier of Clearwater Aquatic Team landed third at 978 (1:10.24) — a 10&U performance that places her well ahead of age expectations.

Liberty Clark of Indiana University was right behind at 1,031 (53.51) — the same matchup that headlined the May 100 free board, now remounted on a faster stage.

Annabelle Hayes of Irvine Novaquatics was second at 1,016 (2:25.90, SCS June AG Invite) — an 11-year-old clearing the 1,000-point barrier in a mid-distance backstroke event.

Ayden Tan was second at 1,076 (2:09.39, Pacific Swimming Long Course Senior Open) — so close in points that the gap amounts to a rounding difference despite a 10-second time differential, reflecting the age adjustment at work.
