Standards shows the qualifying times a swimmer is chasing, by event, age group, and season, from 60+ official standards in the US, Canada, and Brazil.
What Time Standards shows you
Standards are the fixed qualifying times set by official organizations for a meet, an age group, and a season. Gophin has 60+ of them from the US, Canada, and Brazil. The screen lists each target time, so you always know what a swimmer is aiming for.
To see how close your swimmer is to each cut, use the separate Compare Standards screen.

Tips
- Pick the right set in Filters. Standards change by organization, age, and season.
- Use points to compare across events. They put every target on one scale.
- Pair with Best Times. That is where the gap to each target becomes real.
- Check each course. Targets differ between short and long course.
