Motivational Times are time standards determined by USA Swimming.  A copy of the most recent standards is included in the DOCUMENTS Tab on the website. Also, each swimmer can compare his/her time with these standards under MY MEET RESULTS (on the left hand side). These time standards range from B, BB, A, AA, AAA, AAAA. Top 16 Times in the country are usually faster than AAAA Times. All-Star Swim Meet in January requires an A Time, plus the swimmer must be in the top 5 in the Midwesterns Region. Zones Meet requires a AAA Time. Zones usually takes place the first week of August.
