When are PVS qualifying times posted?

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know when PVS typically posts qualifying times for big meets (eg JOs). Is this something that is posted close to the meet? For example, I don’t see qualifying times for 12U LC champs. How much notice do swimmers have for the times they need to hit?

I would just look at the 2019 cut times, they should be pretty similar.

Here are last years cuts, probably won’t be much different

last years cuts and 2019 cuts are very different, at least for my 13 yo DD.

The format went back to 12&under and 13& over-- so I'd look at 2019 and earlier for a 13 year old...

In looking at the 2019 cuts vs. the 2021 cuts for 12U, the 2021 times are faster, so I would use those cut times as a goal.

Anyone know what the deal will be with JO cut times this upcoming year?

Summer cuts are likely to be the same as March 2022 cuts. You can find LC cuts in that meet announcement. Also, SCY cuts count for LC meet.

Doubtful those are easier than the 2019 times.

Summer cuts are not the same as LCM cuts for March JOs

Why are so many of the posters focused on the 2019 times? The 2021 LC cut times are faster than the 2019 LC cut times (at least for the 12 and unders), so why would the 2019 times be the ones to look at as a goal?

Because 2019 was the last normal season. Since then, several meets have adjusted QTs or meet format to keep the # of athletes per session lower. As we return to normal, some think the best guess is the last normal season format.

I haven’t seen many meets return to easier cuts. Which ones?

JO for one. In 2021 it was the "wave 3" for the 14&U kids. This year it went back to similar to 2019 (or you can say 2020 since the cuts were released but the meet was cancelled). Summer LC for 14&U was a different format in 2021 than usual as well.

This is OP. What I'm trying to figure out is when JO cut times are posted. Is it going to be ... December? February? Wondering how much notice kids will have.
