San Diego ABC Time Standards
Due to popular request, the SI Swimming ABC and JO Time Standards have been published in a consolidated, easy to read format.  Choose Short Course Yards (SCY) or Long Course Meters (LCM) and print and enjoy! 

And where do these time standards come from?  By rule, our San Diego ABC time standards are set to equal those published by our large neighbor LSC to the north, Southern California Swimming.  They call their time standards Blue-Red-White, but other than that they are identical. These time standards are very stable and rarely change from year to year.  Having equivalent time standards makes it easier for swimmers to enter and compete in the other LSC's swim meets.  On the other hand, our Junior Olympic time standards are set locally here in San Diego and are crafted to select approximately the 24 fastest swimmers in each event based upon the average results in the event over the past 3 - 5 years.  These time standards can, and often do, change by small amounts from year to year in order to keep up with advances (and sometimes declines) in the various age groups.

USA Swimming Adopts October 1 2009 Ban on Full-Body Suits
At its annual Convention on Saturday, over 400 USA Swimming Delegates, representing swim clubs from all 50 states, voted overwhelmingly for early implementation of a ban on high-tech swimsuits. The legislation, which will go into effect on October 1, regulates swimsuits worn in all USA Swimming–sanctioned competitions.  The Amendment to Rule 102.9 reads, in part:  “All swimsuits shall be made from textile materials. For men, the swimsuit shall not extend above the navel nor below the knees, and for women, shall not cover the neck, extend past the shoulder, nor extend below the knee.”
