USA Swimming Motivational Time Standards
USA Swimming sets national Motivational Time Standards to help swimmers track their progress and set goals. These standards are updated every four years and provide benchmarks for each age group and event.
The time levels range from beginner to elite:
-
B / BB – Developing proficiency
-
A / AA – Above-average performance
-
AAA / AAAA – Advanced to elite performance
Standards are available for all strokes and age groups (10 & under, 11–12, 13–14, 15–16, and 17–18). Coaches and teams often use them to measure improvement, determine meet qualifications, and recognize swimmer achievements.
