Get started freeFrequently asked
What are USA Swimming motivational time standards?
They are national benchmark times (B, BB, A, AA, AAA and AAAA) that USA Swimming publishes for each age group, sex, course and event. They give young swimmers concrete goals to chase as they improve, independent of any single meet’s qualifying cuts.
What do B, A, AA, AAA and AAAA mean?
They are progressively faster achievement levels. B is the entry benchmark and AAAA is the fastest. A swimmer “achieves” a level when their time is at or under that level’s cut for their age, sex, course and event.
How often do the motivational time standards change?
USA Swimming updates the motivational standards every four years, following each Olympic cycle. The current set covers the 2024–2028 quad.
