Top Times

One other thing. Do you think it would be possible to have a function where one could sort the top times by league and division?

I would like to point out that sometimes swimmers "swim up" an age group in summerr league swimming. I noticed a 12 year girl who swam the 50 free in the 13-14 age group last week who is listed in the 13-14 top times instead of the 12 and under top times.

I would like to get an answer to csswim70 it would be ideal to look up top times by league. With them mixed together it defeats the purpose of the Top Times posting. edited 03:38, 3 Jul 2010

Our goal is to be the place where swimmers could compare themselves area wide. That's why the top times are set up this way.

That said, we've gotten many requests to be able to sort by league so, after we launch our forum, and get the virtual meets up and running for this season, sorting by leagues will be next on our "to do" list.

I don't think that summer swimmers are too worried about where they stand within all of the various leagues. There is not inter-league meet, so swimmers only compete against other kids in their area and are therefore only concerned with their ranking in their league.

As the top times lists only show the top 50 swimmers in the area, i think it is safe to say that only year round swimmers are getting their names on these lists, and they already compete with swimmers across the DMV. For year round swimming, lists such as these would be helpful motivators, but for summer leagues situated around county, or small area competition, they are useless.

they are also useless because they continue to duplicate swimmers in their list, rather than only posting the swimmers best time

@DMswim (comment 17) -- there's a link above the list of top swims for the season where you can reload or limit the list to one time per swimmer.

We think there's some value in knowing that one kid owns the top two or three times in one event, just as there is value in seeing more names in the top 50 ... This way you can do both.

Can we check the titles of the events to make sure they make sense? The event is either a "Medley Relay" or an "Individual Medley." It can't be both. ("Boys 10 and Under 100 Individual Medley Relay")
Thanks.

In your fastest times for the season list in the girls 10 and under 50 free list, your top 3 PMSl swimmers did those times in a yarded pool how do they make the list when you shift to fastest one time per swimmer? This list should be calibrated to show the correct standings. edited 03:43, 14 Jul 2010

@swim2btrim:

The default list shows all swimmers in the region whether they swim meters or yards -- that's what the "Combined" in the title means.

To see only yards times or only meters, there's a link at the top of the week top times that allows you to limit the list to either of those.

Also, we are at the mercy of the folks running the various meets to report whether the times are for yards or meters. Folks do get it wrong from time to time and we have no way of knowing when that happens. edited 12:29, 14 Jul 2010

Does anyone know if the 15.1 second record time in the boys 8 and under set way back in 1965 is a national record at that distance as well?

Note. Boys 8 and under 25 meter freestyle
Thanks, John

Would it be possible to add 6 yr old MCSL swimmers to the lists for 6 and under events?

Also, would it be possible to continue these lists past the top 50 for the season, so that the vast majority of swimmers and parents who use this site can find their ranking rather than just the privileged few who already know they're good?

One time per swimmer stats for Girls 8 & under breaststroke appears inaccurate..it does not show the time for my daughter Julienne Chollette of 23.12 NVSL but you do see her when you look at fastest times...but this places her lower becasue it shows the same swimmers multiple times. Can this be fixed??? edited 20:12, 6 Aug 2010

Where are the MCSL open boys medley relays?
