Where does your swimmer stand?

Questions parents ask

Who can swim at the Eastern Zone Super Sectionals?
Swimmers registered with a club in Adirondack, Connecticut, Maine, Metropolitan, New England, Niagara, New Jersey, Allegheny Mountain, Middle Atlantic, Maryland, Potomac Valley and Virginia (the the whole Eastern Zone) who have a qualifying time in the event. Open to all twelve Eastern Zone LSCs and capped at about 700 swimmers.
When and where are the Eastern Zone Super Sectionals in 2027?
Long course: May 20–23, 2027, Richmond, Virginia.
Are these the 2027 Eastern Zone Super Sectionals cuts?
Yes. They are from the section's 2026-27 sheet, linked at the bottom of this page.
Are Sectionals cuts the same everywhere?
No. There is no national Sectionals cut. Each zone splits its LSCs into sections, and each section publishes its own times, so a Richmond cut only counts for the Eastern Zone Super Sectionals.
How do I see how close my swimmer is?
Search for them on this page. You'll see their best time in every event with a cut, the time still to drop, and where that time ranks among 13-18 swimmers in this section.

Also called: Super Sectionals, Richmond Sectionals, SwimRVA Sectionals, Eastern Zone Super Sectional.
