2026 - 2027 Time Standards
Time Standards are used to determine the level of the swimmer and allow them to qualify for higher level meets.
Island Swimming hosts five iRace swim meets (ISST program only), time trials, Bennett Cup, and Medley Challenge each year which do not require any time standard.
However, other meets on the Island, the Province and beyond require that swimmers meet a certain time standard in order to attend.
Time standards are set for both a Short Course 25m pool (SC) and a Long Course 50m pool (LC).
