Questions about Meets
What are Junior, Elite and Senior Meets?
In order to keep meet sizes small and to help prevent new year round swimmers from always swimming against a seasoned year round swimmer, GULF swimming breaks up meets by time standards. USA Swimming puts a list of Time Standards (AAA,AA,A,BB,B etc) for each age category and gender. Junior Meets are for swimmers 9-14 years of age who have two A times or below, including NT or No Time. Elite Meets are for swimmer 9-14 who have 3 A times or more. Senior meets are for swimmers 15 and Older. 8 and Unders will be designated to 8 and Under meets regardless of time standards.
