How Hertfordshire times work
Two times per event. A qualifying time (QT) guarantees a swim. A consideration time (CT) gets in if the swimmer is among the fastest entrants, up to the cap for that event and age.
Times from 25m and 50m pools both count. The entry software converts 50m times to 25m; the checker uses Swim England's published method, so treat 50m results as approximate.
Times must be on the Aquatics GB rankings by the time entries close.
Entry caps for CT swimmers

800 Free caps are from the Conditions v2 (12: top 9, 13/14: top 15, 15 and over: top 18); the earlier QT document listed 6, 10 and 12.

- Female 50m Free 12 QT and 13 QT are printed as 0:32.64 and 0:30.74 in the source (read as 00:32.64 and 00:30.74).
- 800m, 1500m and 400m IM are not offered to 10/11 year olds.
Questions
Possibly. CT entries are accepted fastest first until the event reaches its cap, for example the top 25 in 50 and 100 events for 12 to 15-year-olds. Swimmers with QTs count towards the cap, so it depends on how many fast entries there are.
Their age on 31 December 2027, even though the championships are in early 2027. A swimmer born in 2014 swims as a 13-year-old; 10 and 11-year-olds share the 10/11 age group.
On swimmingresults.org: use Individual Best Times and enter your child's Swim England membership number. Each best shows its date and meet, so you can check it falls inside the qualifying window. You can paste that page into the checker to fill in the times.
The county your club is affiliated to, not where you live. Most north and west London clubs swim in Middlesex, east and north-east London clubs in Essex, and Buckinghamshire is split between Berks & South Bucks and Oxfordshire & North Bucks. If in doubt, ask the club.
