[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New swim mom of a 9 year old boy here.  I was looking over the times for the PVS October Open and it made me curious about the USA Swimming time standards.  From just eyeballing it, the top boy in each event across all three sites usually has an AA time with just a few AAA times.  There are usually just a couple AA/AAA times in each event.  I'm not seeing any AAAA times over the three sites in any boys 9-10 event.  I thought AAAA meant top 2%, AAA top 6% and AA top 8%.  Most of the events have 150 to 200 swimmers over the three sites.  It seems like most events should have at least one AAAA time, and every event should have a handful of AAA times.  Are the best area swimmers not competing in these opens?  Or is this just because this is early in the season?  Or maybe I'm misunderstanding?[/quote]

The 9-10 boy who won the 100 BK at the Alexandria site had a AAAA time that appears to be the fastest in the country for his age group so far this season.  He also crushed the field, of pretty decent swimmers, in the 200 BK.[/quote]

I went to USAswimming and when I pull up the month for AAAA time standards there is no such person.  USAswimming has been wonky buy it pulled the 12 swimmers in the database with AAAA cuts.

Now, there are two NOVA Aquatic boys that had AAA standard for backstroke, a 9 and a 10 year old.  Pretty impressive for that club. But they are like 26th ranked.[/quote]
DP, that kid definitely had a AAAA time. I don’t think USA swimming has uploaded the times from this weekend yet.[/quote]

As the season starts, there will be more.  PVS does not have a lot of top swimmers.  So far it looks like NCAP and Machine are leading the charge.  But it is early and some kids have not even had their first meet yet. [/quote]
