Change for JO Qualifiers:
Any swimmer with a BB time in any 50-100 yard event or A time in 200+ yard events will swim exhibition in that event. (For the Winter JO Qualifier and at the Last Chance Qualifier.) This has been voted on by Arkansas AAU coaches who attended the meeting this summer (2016-2017) and approved by the National Board. This change should allow more swimmers to qualify for JO. The updated USA Time Standards are below.
