How Sussex times work
One qualifying time per event and age. Meet it and your club can enter you. If the meet is oversubscribed, Sussex may remove the swimmers closest to the qualifying times.
Long course entry times are required. A 25m pool time can be converted to long course with the Swim England equivalent time tables, and the checker does that for you.
Times must come from Level 1 to 4 licensed meets since 2 March 2026 and show on the rankings.
Para entry: Swimmers in classes S1 to S14 are exempt from the qualifying times, but their entry times must show on the National Rankings, and they are not removed if the meet is oversubscribed. The national para meets take entries on para points: see the para points checkers.
Full times tables
Long course (50m) times. A dash means no qualifying time is needed in that age group.

Notes on the published times
- The sheet prints a second, short course equivalent table 'just for reference'; it is not transcribed. Long course entry times are required and 25m swims are converted.
- Qualifying times are set by single age (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and over). The conditions list the competition age groups as 10/11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17+.
- 400m IM, 800m Freestyle and 1500m Freestyle are printed 'No event' for 10 and 11 year olds.
- Times are printed with dots throughout (e.g. 1.32.00 = 1:32.00, 12.43.00 = 12:43.00).
- If the meet is oversubscribed, swimmers closest to the qualifying times may be removed (condition 4.3), so meeting the time is not an absolute guarantee.
- If a 50m pool is not available the meet transfers to short course (condition 1.2.1).
Questions
Yes. Sussex requires long course entry times but permits short course times converted to long course with the Swim England equivalent time tables. The official sheet also prints short course equivalents for reference only.
Sussex sets a separate qualifying time for each age from 10 to 15, then one for 16 and over. The conditions list the competition age groups as 10/11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 and over.
Their age on 31 December 2027, even though the championships are in early 2027. A swimmer born in 2014 swims as a 13-year-old; 10 and 11-year-olds share the 10/11 age group.
Use Find your swimmer at the top of the checker: type your child's name or membership number and their best times are filled in from the British rankings (swimmingresults.org), each with its date and meet. Only swims from licensed meets reach the rankings, so type in any that are missing.
