What the tracker shows you

Everything a swimmer and their parents need to plan a season of entries, without hunting through championship conditions PDFs.

Qualifying times, decoded

Every stored standard for club, county, regional and national competitions, with the qualifying time, consideration time and upper and lower cut-offs.

Short course and long course

SC and LC standards sit side by side, so you can see which course your swimmer is inside — and by how much.

The gap, in seconds

A clear line shows how close each personal best is to the target, plus exactly how much needs to come off.

Qualifying windows

Some times only count if they were swum in a set date range. The tracker flags PBs that fall outside the window.

Ranking-based selections

For meets selected by position rather than a time, the tracker can check where your swimmer sits in their age group.

One view, every level

Group events by competition level and competition name so you can see a whole season of targets in one place.

How it works

From a pile of PBs
to a clear qualification picture

Set your swimmer up once, keep their times up to date, and the tracker turns every published standard into a simple qualified or not-yet answer.

Which standards do you need?

British swimming runs a pyramid of competition. Each level publishes its own qualifying times, and a time that is good enough for a county final may be several seconds short of the regional standard.

Club

Club championships and internal galas. Usually the first entry point, with times set by your own club.

County

County championships, run by each county association. Qualifying times are published each season and are usually swum in the months before the meet.

Regional

Regional championships, such as the South East or North West regionals. Faster standards than counties, with tighter qualifying windows.

National

English and British national competitions. The fastest standards in the sport, usually requiring qualifying times from a set window plus entry by ranking.

Open

Open meets that use entry times or upper cut-offs to control numbers. Many swimmers use these to chase county and regional times.

Not sure where to start?

Start with your county championships. They are usually the first published standard a swimmer chases.
