How East Midlands Region times work
The East Midlands Long Course Championships publish consideration times (CT) for every event and age group, for women and girls and for men and open. If an event is oversubscribed, entries are turned away as set out in the conditions.
The 50m events have a consideration time for 17 and over only. Younger swimmers enter a 50 through the 100m consideration time of the same stroke, so the checker shows "via 100" for those.
The meet is swum long course. The region also publishes a short course (25m) table, but where the two differ the converted long course time decides. This checker converts 25m times with Swim England's equivalent-time method, so a converted time is approximate.
Times must be swum at a level 1, 2 or 3 licensed meet between 6 March 2026 and the entry closing date. They are taken to the hundredth, with no rounding.
Not yet confirmed for 2027: These are version 1.0 of the 2027 consideration times, released subject to licensing approval; the entry closing date and full conditions are not out yet. In four places the published 25m sheet does not match the 50m sheet (Men / Open 1500 Free at 14 and 15, Women / Girls 1500 Free at 16, Women / Girls 200 Fly at 14); the 50m times are used here, as the region's rule says the converted long course time prevails.
Full times tables
Long course (50m) times; a 25m time is converted to 50m before it is compared. “via 100” means there is no 50 time at that age: the 50 is entered through the 100 consideration time of the same stroke.

Notes on the published times
- Times are the 2027 East Midlands Long Course Championships consideration times (50m). If an event is oversubscribed, entries are rejected as set out in the conditions.
- The 50m events have a consideration time for 17 and over only; younger swimmers enter a 50 through the 100m consideration time of the same stroke.
- Short course (25m) times count once converted to long course; the region also publishes a 25m table, but where the two differ the converted long course time decides. This checker converts with Swim England's equivalent-time method, so treat converted 25m times as approximate.
- Times must be swum at a level 1, 2 or 3 licensed meet between 6 March 2026 and the entry closing date. Age is taken at 31 December 2027. Times are taken to the hundredth, with no rounding.
