Questions parents ask

When and where is Age Group Zones in 2027?

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 Georgia 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.
