Only times achieved between September 1, 2025 and December 8, 2025 (Pioneer Open Meet) will be considered for selection. ALL times achieved at a USA Swimming sanctioned event that within this timeline will be considered. They need not be achieved at a meet held in Colorado.
Athletes with the top time in an event for their gender and age group will be automatically invited. The remainder of the spots per gender/age group will be selected using a high point system:
Using the USA Swimming national database, top times will be obtained and athletes will be given points based on where their times fall in the list for that event (example: using a top 30 times list per event – the top time will receive 30 points, the 2nd time will receive 29 points, the 3rd will receive 28, etc. down to the 30th time receiving 1 point).
