Full Schedule For the 2022 CIF Swimming & Diving Championship Season

The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) swimming & diving 2022 season is fully underway, with Section meets currently taking place in the lead-up to the State Championships later this month.

The CIF State Swimming & Diving Championships will take place from May 12-14 at the Clovis Olympic Swim Complex at Clovis West High School in Fresno. Swimmers will qualify to compete at the meet by virtue of their performances at their respective Section Meets, based on the qualifying criteria below:

CIF STATE MEET QUALIFYING STANDARDS

The various California Sections may send swimmers and divers to the State Meet, using the following formula for each event:

Automatic qualifying standards per event – top X finishers from Section meets as below.

  • CIF Southern – 5
  • CIF North Coast – 3
  • San Diego – 3
  • CIF Sac-Joaquin –  3
  • CIF Central Coast –  3
  • CIF Central – 3
  • CIF Los Angeles – 2
  • CIF San Francisco – 1
  • CIF Oakland – 1

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.

What do these numbers 5, 3, 1 mean? What is the formula?

I believe each section can send that many swimmers regardless of time swam…just based on place? I could be off on that however. Southern California being the largest section gets the most spots…etc.

What are At-Large qualifying times?

I’d guess it would be next fastest times after all the automatic qualifiers from all the regions have been accounted for.

Ohio did (and I believe still does) do something similar. There are 4 district meets and each district has X number of automatic qualifiers which are the people who finish in the top X places in that event (including relays) at the district meet. Then the remaining 10 or so spots (when I was swimming the total number of entrants was capped at 24 for every event) are filled based on the next fastest times from all the district meets.
