When does the list come out and where?
What if I qualify for only one event but have the gpa, is that enough?
so does the time need to be swam in a high school meet or any USA meet? My sons hs coach says his time doesnt qualify because he got it at winter jr’s and not a high school meet??
Your coach is absolutely wrong
Does anyone know if historical time standards for this are out there anywhere? Don’t remember this back in my high school days and curious as to how I would’ve fared…
My school does it on a 5.0 scale so how would i know if i meet the requirements
Is it 5.0 because of AP classes that allow you to go over 4.0? If that’s the case then you still just need higher than a 3.5 to qualify (I’m pretty sure)
Yea, alright thanks,
I believe USA Swimming verifies your GPA and may recalculate it based on the following from 2015-16:
o A=4, B=3, C=2. If numerical grades are used, the following scale will be used unless the school’s letter grade conversion is given on the transcript: A=90-100; B=80-89; C=70-79.
o Honors, Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and dual credit college level academic courses will earn one half (.5) extra Grade Point. Grades for academic subjects only are calculated – history/social studies, English, mathematics, sciences, foreign languages, arts (visual and performing), computer sciences. A grade lower than a C in an academic subject will mean automatic rejection of the applicant. Grades for non-academic courses will NOT be calculated – band, choir, health, driver… Read more »
