USA Swimming Time Standards for 11-12 Boys — FAQ
What are USA Swimming motivational time standards?
USA Swimming's motivational time standards give 11-12 boys swimmers clear benchmarks to work toward. The six levels — B, BB, A, AA, AAA, and AAAA — progress from entry-level competitive times to nationally elite. These standards are updated every four years; the current set covers the 2024–2028 quad.
What is a B time, and what is a AAAA time?
B and BB times are achievable for most competitive swimmers within their first year or two. A times mark a strong age-group swimmer competitive at the local and regional level. AA and AAA times indicate an elite swimmer often qualifying for championship meets like Futures or Sectionals. AAAA represents the top tier — swimmers at this level are nationally ranked and often on the path to Olympic Trials.
What's the difference between SCY, LCM, and SCM standards?
Times are published for three pool courses: Short Course Yards (SCY, the standard for the US winter season), Long Course Meters (LCM, used in summer season and international competition), and Short Course Meters (SCM). A swimmer's times differ across courses, so each course has its own set of standards.
How often do USA Swimming time standards change?
USA Swimming updates the National Age Group Motivational Time Standards every four years. The current standards cover the 2024–2028 quad.
