How Derbyshire times work
Consideration times only. Meeting one does not guarantee entry: if the meet is oversubscribed the slowest entries are rejected, and the 800 and 1500 heats may be limited further.
CTs are long course times. A 25m time is converted to a 50m time, as the Sportsystems Entry Manager does, and must be equal to or faster than the CT.
Times must be on the British Swimming rankings from Level 1 to 4 meets and swum after 1 January 2026. Clubs enter with times taken straight from the rankings.
Full times tables
Long course (50m) times. A dash means no qualifying time is needed in that age group.

Notes on the published times
- Consideration times do not guarantee entry: if the meet is oversubscribed the slowest entries are rejected by cutting the consideration times by a percentage in each age.
- The times table has one column for 16/17 and over (shown here as 16+); awards are by 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17/19 and 20 and over.
- Female 16/17&Ov 1500 Free is printed 23.22.38 (a full stop where the colon should be); read as 23:22.38, the same as the 15 years time.
- Female 15 400 Free (5:49.65) is printed slower than 14 (5:48.47); shown as printed.
- Female and Open/Male 800 Free times are printed identical from 12 upwards and the 1500 Free times identical from 14 upwards; shown as printed.
- In most events the Female times at 10/11, 12 and 13 are printed faster than the Open/Male times for the same age (and a few at 14 and 15); shown as printed.
- The closing date is printed without a time of day, and no end date for the qualifying window is printed.
- The pack does not state the pool length of the meet in so many words; it says all times are based on a long course (50m) pool and that entry times are converted to a 50m pool.
Questions
The last one. Derbyshire prints a single consideration time for 16, 17 and over, so every swimmer aged 16 or older on 31 December 2027 is checked against it. Medals are still awarded by 16, 17/19 and 20 and over.
That is how Derbyshire prints them. The 800 Free times match from age 12 and the 1500 Free times from age 14. The checker uses the times exactly as printed in the entry pack.
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.
