Questions parents ask

How is the South Texas Swimming Zone team picked?

The coaching staff picks on long course times, versatility and likely contribution, with an optional point system. Team size: 12 girls and 12 boys per age group.

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 South Texas 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.
