USA Swimming's Age Group program is designed to develop swimmers from a young age eventually to Senior Swimming and hopefully from there to the National level.  Time standards are designed to support this development by encouraging age group swimmers to step their swimming up to the next level.  These time standards guide you from just starting out in your age group to reaching your highest potential.  Our LSC standards will take you from the beginning "C" standard all the way to your qualifying standards for the LSC Age Group Championships; and beyond to the LSC Senior Championships.  The Hawaiian Swimming Senior Time Standards are also found below.  Zone, Sectional, Junior & Senior National time standards can be found on different websites: Western Zone Swimming, Pacific Northwest, and USA-Swimming, respectively.

2024-27 Hawaiian Swimming Age Group Standards:
Notes: Per changes 21-Apr-2024 to LSC P&P, time standards are based off National Motivational Times and to be consistent over the 4-year quad. 12&U are time standards half-way between A & BB times unless pre 2024 HISI times were slower (then keep the slower standard). 13&O are 70/30 between A & BB times unless pre 2024 HISI times were slower. These time standards are based on 10U, 11-12, 13-14, 15-18 age groups. We've also changed the names of our old AAA & AA to CHMP & INVT. Finally, SCY AGC will have finals age groups of 10u, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15-18 and will be similarly based on the National Motiviationa Times - our HISI SCY AGC times will be calculated and posted by September 2024.

* Info: Hawaiian Swimming Senior Time Standards are reviewed each summer.  Each year a subset of the standards are adjusted progressively faster relative to prior years due too the increased number of athletes participating in the sport and the progression of our championship-level athletes using the following procedure.  SR-A times for short and mid-distance events are set such that an average of 64 athletes per event (per gender) would have qualified for the Senior Championship meet for each of the last 4 years.  Long distance events are set for an average of 48 athletes per event.  Standards for events with a relatively lower number of participants are set to a similar "quality" level to other events.  SR-B times are 5% slower than SR-A times.
