Questions parents ask

Who can swim at the Western Region Summer Sectionals?
Swimmers registered with a club in Alaska, Hawaii, Inland Empire, Montana, Oregon, Pacific Northwest, Snake River, Wyoming, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah (the Northwest and Four Corners sections together) who have a qualifying time in the event. One long course meet for all twelve Western Region LSCs, with faster cuts than the spring meets.
When and where are the Western Region Summer Sectionals in 2027?
Summer: July 15–18, 2027, Gresham, Oregon.
Are these the 2027 Western Region Summer 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 Gresham cut only counts for the Western Region Summer 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: Gresham Sectionals, WRS Sectionals, Western Region Speedo Sectionals.
