Every season brings with it a new opportunity for swimmers to push their limits, set ambitious goals, and rise to the occasion. Championship meets are the pinnacle of LSC competition in our sport, and taking part in them is a reflection of dedication, training, and perseverance both in and out of the pool.

This year’s qualifying standards are designed to highlight the best of our athletes and ensure a competitive, inspiring championship environment. Whether you’re a swimmer aiming for your first qualifying cut or a seasoned competitor chasing personal bests, these times provide a clear pathway to test yourself against the top talent in the LSC.

Why Qualifying Times Matter

Championship standards are more than just numbers on a page - they represent the benchmark of excellence for the season. They encourage athletes to measure progress, refine technique, and fuel their drive to achieve. Hitting a qualifying time is a milestone worth celebrating, no matter the level of experience.

Preparing for the Challenge

Now is the time to sit down with your coach, review the standards, and map out a training plan that will set you up for success. Focus on building consistency, setting incremental goals, and maintaining a healthy balance between hard work and recovery.

Remember: championships aren’t just about reaching the wall first - they’re about showcasing the best version of yourself when it matters most.

Celebrate the Journey

While the qualifying times are the target, the journey toward them is where growth happens. Every practice, every meet, and every race brings you closer to becoming the swimmer you aspire to be. For many, qualifying will be the culmination of countless hours of dedication. For others, it will be motivation to keep striving for new heights in the seasons ahead.
