West Virginia Swimming Zone Team 2027

How West Virginia Swimming picks its team

Ranked by a published score

The sum of the best 6 Hy-Tek age group points at West Virginia short course champs, at least 1,000. Winners of the 100 free, back, breast and fly are automatic.

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

Hy-Tek's age group points come from tables built into Meet Manager that Hy-Tek has never published, so no one outside the meet software can recompute them. Our board uses USA Swimming Power Points, Hy-Tek's single-year tables, which rank swimmers very similarly but not identically.

From West Virginia Swimming's 2025 selection information. LSCs post their 2027 rules in the spring; we update this page when they do.

Questions parents ask

How is the West Virginia Swimming Zone team picked?

The sum of the best 6 Hy-Tek age group points at West Virginia short course champs, at least 1,000. Winners of the 100 free, back, breast and fly are automatic. 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 West Virginia 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.
