How Louisiana Swimming picks its team

Method not published

By application; the selection appendix in Louisiana's policies is blank.

From Louisiana Swimming's 2015 selection information. LSCs post their 2027 rules in the spring; we update this page when they do.

Where does your swimmer rank right now?

Search any 14 & under swimmer for their rank on the MySwimApp Power Score in their age group and how far they are from the 12-swimmer line.

Who's on track: the Power Score top 3

Every Louisiana Swimming swimmer ranked by their best 6 USA Swimming Power Points across the Zones events, either course, last 12 months. How the Power Score works. Louisiana Swimming doesn't pick its team by a score, so this is a readiness ranking, not a team prediction.

This board is being built and will appear within a week.

Questions parents ask

How is the Louisiana Swimming Zone team picked?
By application; the selection appendix in Louisiana's policies is blank.
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 Louisiana 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.
