Texas Speedo Sectionals 2027 qualifying times

The cuts for the Texas and Louisiana section of the Southern Zone, how many swimmers already have each one, and where your swimmer stands. Open to swimmers from Border, Gulf, Louisiana, North Texas, South Texas and West Texas.

These are last season's (2026) cuts. The 2027 sheet isn't posted yet; this page switches over when it is.

Where does your swimmer stand?

Every event: best time, what's left to drop, and rank among 13-18 swimmers in this section.

Swimmers aged 13-18 in these LSCs already hold 11,521 of these cuts, and 4,521 more swims are within 2% of a cut. Counted per event, so a swimmer with three cuts counts three times.

Questions parents ask

Who can swim at the Texas Speedo Sectionals?
Swimmers registered with a club in Border, Gulf, Louisiana, North Texas, South Texas and West Texas (the Texas and Louisiana section of the Southern Zone) who have a qualifying time in the event. One Texas Senior Circuit sheet covers both meets. Times count for two years before the meet.
When and where are the Texas Speedo Sectionals in 2027?
Spring: March 4–7, 2027, San Antonio, Texas. Summer: July 21–24, 2027, Austin, Texas.
Are these the 2027 Texas Speedo Sectionals cuts?
Not yet. The 2027 sheet isn't posted, so this page shows the 2026 cuts, which sections rarely change much. We replace them when the new sheet is out, usually in January or February.
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 San Antonio cut only counts for the Texas 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: TSC Sectionals, San Antonio Sectionals, Austin Sectionals, Southern Zone LC Sectionals, Texas Senior Circuit Sectionals.
