We
have 3 clearly delineated time achievement levels at TTST.
This helps swimmers know what they have achieved. It
puts meaning on the various Time standards out in USA Swimming and
emphises long term commitment to swimming by highlighting Senior
Swimming progression times. Finally it should help parents
and swimmers know what upcoming championship meets on our event
calendar a swimmer will likely be qualified for. The 3
levels are: TTST Age Group All-Stars
Level, TTST Senior Level, and
TTST National Level.
TTST AGE GROUP ALL-STARS
LEVEL
Novice and beginning Regional swimmers of TTST
will be looking toward getting their first
Sierra Nevada Swimming Junior Olympics Time standard.
Once a JO time is acquired all active TTST swimmers with this
achievement or a faster time up to just short of the Sierra
Nevada JR+Senior Time will hold the title of TTST Age Group
All-Star!
TTST Age Group All-Stars will be looking to make
their first of 3 Senior Times:
(Senior Western Zones Time)
Annual LCM meet in Clovis, CA, end July/early
August
TTST NATIONAL LEVEL
TTST Senior Level Swimmers will be looking to
make and then go faster than the CA/NV Sectional time to be on
the TTST National Level! Here are the different levels
from easiest to hardest on the National Level time
standards:
Futures Meet (This has only been one meet
annually LCM in July/ early August)
Winter JR Championships (Annually in
December)
US
Open (Annually in December)
Summer USA Champs (Annually in LCM only
July/ early August)
US Olympic Trials (Every 4 Years 2020 Times
Link)
All
three levels are objectively set by a times standard that can
be found at Sierra Nevada Swimming or by clicking the links above.
You may also ask me and I will email you a document with all
the times. Once qualified for a TTST level you can
NOT move down only up!
