How Shropshire times work
One qualifying time per event and age. If the meet is oversubscribed the promoter may reject the slowest entries in each age band.
The entry time is taken from the Swim England rankings and must be equal to or faster than the qualifying time, from meets at Levels 1 to 4.
The documents do not say whether the times are 25m or 50m times, or whether conversions are accepted, so the checker compares a time as swum.
Not yet confirmed for 2027: The Shropshire documents do not say how 50m pool times are treated. Check with your club before relying on a 50m time.
Full times tables
One qualifying time per event and age band, for a 25m or a 50m pool; times are not converted.

Questions
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.
