How Florida Swimming picks its team

Ranked by a published score

A "standardized Zone Points system" across the individual events at the qualifying meet picks 12 per gender and age group. Florida hasn't published the formula; in 2025 it picked 8 by fastest short course time in a fixed event order, plus 4 wild cards.

Team size: 12 girls and 12 boys per age group.

What time do you need for Zones?
There is no zone qualifying time. A swimmer can't enter an event in which they hold a Summer Junior National cut. For Florida Swimming, a cut may not be enough on its own, because the team is ranked once swimmers qualify.
What is the MySwimApp Power Score?
The sum of a swimmer's best 6 USA Swimming Power Points across the Zones events, in either course, over the last 12 months. Power Points put a 50 free and a 400 IM on one scale and adjust for age, so it ranks everyone in an age group the way most scored Zones selections do.
