Australian Swimming Rankings - How it Works

Every major swim meet in Australia and any swim meets held overseas with Australians competing at it, have their results entered into a database. The database collates all the swimmers results and leads to the production of rankings for each stroke and distance in both long course (events held in 50m pools) and Short Course (events held in 25m pools).

Australian Long Course
The first series of rankings in the Australian Swimming Rankings table is Australian Long Course. These rankings list the best times swum in a 50m pool since the beginning of the season. The categories are Open Men and Women (Top 25) and Age Group Boys and Girls (Top 25). Ages 13/U years, 14 years, 15 years, 16 years and 17-18 years.

All-time Australian Best Swims
The second series of rankings are the All-time Australian Best Swims. These provide the fastest 10 times for Open Men and Women ever swum by Australians. The lists provide you with a who's who of Australian swimming.

Alltime Australian rankings
The third series of rankings are the Alltime Australian rankings. These provide you with the top 25 Open Male and Female swimmers in each event. Also provided are the top 10 All-time Australians Boys and Girls. Ages include 13/U years, 14 years, 15 years, 16 years and 17-18 years. This is a great resource for young inspiring swimmers.
