Frequently asked

Is there still an A and a B standard in Division I?

No. Division I publishes a single qualifying standard per event for 2026-27; selection to the championship field is then made from the national performance list. Divisions II and III still publish A and B standards.

Are these the official NCAA standards?

Yes, read from the NCAA's published PDF and linked below. MySwimSet is an independent tool and is not affiliated with the NCAA.
