National Age Group Recognition Program

The National Age Group Recognition Program is an awards program for top level of age group swimmers across the nation. It is administered by the USA Swimming Times and Recognition Committee with the assistance of the USA Swimming Staff and LSC Times Verification Officers. Times accepted as “official times” by USA Swimming, from sanctioned, approved or observed competitions are eligible for consideration. The swimmer must have been a registered member of USA Swimming at the time of the swim.

Many thanks to Ginger McCurdy,
National Times Officer for CSI.

By vote at the 2007 USA Swimming House of Delegates, the Age Group Recognition program was changed from Top 16 to Top 10 commencing with the 2007-2008 season. Additionally, single age groups are now recognized rather than "age groups". Athletes aged 11 to 18 year old are recognized. Relays are recognized by age group 11/12, 13/14 and 15/18. Read USA Swimming's rationale for change to the National Age Group Program here.

CSI had 43 individual times and 1 relay time recognized by USA Swimming. Christian Higgins, NCY, is ranked first in the 16 year old 100M Breaststroke (1:02.29) and holds the National Age Group 15/16 record in this event.  Joe Shepley, CDOG, is ranked #1 in the 13 year old 100M Butterfly (59.41). Congratulations to our #1 ranked athletes and their coaches!
