Questions parents ask

Who can swim at the Northwest Speedo Sectionals?
Swimmers registered with a club in Alaska, Hawaii, Inland Empire, Montana, Oregon, Pacific Northwest, Snake River and Wyoming (the Northwest section of the Western Region) who have a qualifying time in the event. Same cuts as the Four Corners meet in Iowa City, which takes up to 150 cross-registered Northwest swimmers. The summer meet for both sections is the Western Region Summer Sectionals in Gresham.
When and where are the Northwest Speedo Sectionals in 2027?
Spring: March 18–21, 2027, Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.
Are these the 2027 Northwest Speedo 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 Kailua-Kona cut only counts for the Northwest Speedo 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: Pacific Northwest Sectionals, Kona Sectionals, NW Sectionals, Western Region Sectionals spring.
