How Cambridgeshire times work
A qualifying time (QT) guarantees the swim. Consideration times (CT) are published for the 50m and 100m events only and are accepted if there is space. Events of 200m and longer have a QT only, so the checker measures the gap to the QT there.
The times are short course, printed to tenths. Long course times converted with the Sportsystems software are accepted, so the checker converts 50m pool times to 25m.
Entry times are taken from the Aquatics GB rankings.
Full times tables
25m pool times unless the table says long course. A dash means the event isn't offered to that age group.

Questions
Cambridgeshire only sets consideration times for the 50m and 100m events. For 200m and longer the swimmer needs the QT.
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.
