At-Large Entries
Swimming: Once allocated automatic qualifying spots from each section are filled, sections may enter additional competitors provided they have met or bettered the “At-Large” Automatic or Consideration standard for their event in their Section Meet that qualifies athletes for the CIF State Swimming & Diving Championships. In the event that there are not 40 automatic qualifiers, consideration times will be used to fill each event to 40 qualifiers/relay teams. “At-Large” qualifying times must be achieved in Finals of the Section Championships. All times must be recorded on “Fully Automatic Timing” systems (FAT). No hand times will be accepted.
Diving: No At Large Qualifiers. Each section will get one additional entry for diving.
CIF State Meet Qualifying Time Standards (Times must be obtained at Section Championship meet in individual events. No relay lead-off times permitted.)

When you say CIF SS can send 5 swimmers, does that mean 2 Div I, 1 Div II, 1 Div III, & 1 Div IV swimmer/event?
The southern section consolidates results from all 4 divisions and selections are based on those results. Each division is not guaranteed a spot
IV is the slowest. I could placed in division 4 still and I swam 40 years ago. Not saying some kids are not fast in 4 but they have less year round swimmers.
