The pathway

Four levels.
Each one earned.

Every level is an achievement in its own right. A county time, a regional time and a national time are each hard-won, and reaching the next one never makes the last one smaller.

  1. Level 01

    County

    The first championship standard. A county time puts a swimmer among the fastest in their county.

    Check county times →
  2. Level 02

    Regional

    The best swimmers from several counties, racing for regional titles.

  3. Level 03

    National

    The fastest in the country for their age.

    Check national cut-offs →
  4. Level 04

    International

    Europeans, Commonwealths, Worlds and the Olympics.

Level 01 · County

Choose your
county

Enter best times, or look a swimmer up by name or membership number, and see which county times are made and how far off the rest are.

Level 03 · National

National
championships

National meets invite the fastest swimmers in each age group, so there is often no fixed qualifying time. Where that is the case, the checker shows last year's cut-off: the time of the last swimmer invited.

Masters pathway

Masters times,
age group by age group

For adult swimmers. Masters championships set their own qualifying times in five-year age groups, from 18-24 upwards.

Para pathway

Para swimming

Para swimmers have their own qualifying standards by classification. A para checker is on the way.
