How Northamptonshire times work
One qualifying time per event and age group. Northamptonshire ASA has published the 2027 times but not the conditions yet, so whether meeting a time guarantees a swim is not confirmed.
The times are 25m (short course) times stated to tenths: 1:24.3 is met by 1:24.30 but not by 1:24.31. The checker converts 50m swims to 25m with the Swim England method; the county has not yet said whether converted times are accepted.
Times must come from a licensed event since 1 January 2026. The licence levels that count and the closing date are not published yet.
Not yet confirmed for 2027: The 2027 conditions aren't published yet. The closing date, licence levels, pool length and whether converted 50m times count are not confirmed; the times themselves are the official 2027 ones.
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
- Only the times sheet and the county web page are published; the 2027 conditions (closing date, licence levels, conversion, whether entry is guaranteed) are not published yet.
- The times are called Qualifying Times and are treated as a single entry standard; the conditions may still allow entries to be limited.
- Pool length is not stated in the 2027 documents; short course is assumed because the times are stated in 25m format.
- The county page prints the session dates with the year 2026 (for example Saturday 16th January 2026); the weekdays match January and February 2027, so they are read as 2027. Session times are marked TBC.
- 800 Free, 1500 Free and 400 IM are not offered to 10/11 year olds.
- Female times are printed faster than Open/Male at 10/11 in 100 and 200 Breast, 100 and 200 Fly and all three Back events, and at 12 in 800 and 1500 Free; shown as printed.
- Female 15 and 16+ 1500 Free (23:06.9, 22:52.6) are a faster pace than the 800 Free for the same ages (12:22.9, 12:17.1); shown as printed.
Questions
Probably not. The times are stated to tenths, so the checker reads 1:24.3 as 1:24.30 and a 1:24.34 misses it. The 2027 conditions are not published yet, so check with your club once they 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.
