How Kent times work
Two times per event up to 400m. An automatic time (Auto) guarantees entry. A consideration time (Cons.) gets in up to a set number of swimmers per age group and event, fastest first.
The 800m and 1500m Freestyle have consideration times only, with places limited per age group. There is no 800m, 1500m or 400m IM for 10/11 year olds.
Kent prints a short course and a long course time for every event. A 25m pool time is checked against the short course line and a 50m time against the long course line. Times must be the fastest swum at a Level 1 to 4 licensed meet and be on the Swim England 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.

Notes on the published times
- 800m and 1500m Freestyle have consideration times only (no automatic time); acceptance is initially capped at 10 (800m) and 5 (1500m) per age group per gender.
- 800m Freestyle, 1500m Freestyle and 400m IM are printed 'No Event' for 10/11 year olds.
- 800m Freestyle entries close earlier, on 23 December 2026 at 23:59; all other events close 13 January 2027 at 23:59.
- Consideration-time entries up to 400m are accepted up to a published number of swimmers per age group and event.
- Female 800m Freestyle consideration times at 14 (SC 10:22.00) and 17+ (SC 9:45.00) are faster than the Male/Open ones (10:28.00 and 9:56.00); many Female times at 10/11 to 13 are also faster than Male/Open. Shown as printed.
- Pool policy: both an SC and an LC line are printed per event. Condition 8.1 says long course times and short course times converted to long course are accepted; the SC line is treated as the county's own short course equivalent.
