Questions parents ask

How is the Kentucky Swimming Zone team picked?

Kentucky's Coaches Committee sets the method each year; it isn't published.

When and where is Age Group Zones in 2027?

The Southern Zone Age Group Championships is summer 2027 (not announced; 2026 was July 29–August 1), not announced (Orlando, Florida in 2026). It's long course, for ages 11-12 and 13-14. Each LSC sends up to 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 Kentucky Swimming, a cut may not be enough on its own, because the team is partly chosen 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.
