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 Senior 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 "B" 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.
Hawaiian Swimming Age Group & Senior Standards:
Note: Per changes to LSC for prioritizing Age Group for 14u swimmers, Changes to Time Standards and Championships to facilitate the development of 14&U to Senior Level Swimmers have been made. Our SCY Champs are 14&U single age championships (10u, 11, 12, 13, 14), LCM are 14&U mixed age (10u, 11-12, 13-14), The 15-18 standards used for normal primary qualification meets throughout the year use the LCM 14&U mixed age time standards plus the SR-A standards with 10% drop for 15-18 IN, A & B standards as done for CHMP, IN, A & B for 14&U. Also, the Time standards for 12 & 14 in SCY Champs are the same as the 11-12 & 13-14 standards with 11 & 13 5% slower than 12 & 14 respectively.

* 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.
