Records and Rankings

Records Information

When records are broken at either a Swimming Victoria or Swimming Australia (SAL) meet, e.g. Victorian Championships and Australian Age Championships, these records are updated within 14 days of the swim automatically.

Splits are not automatically checked and you would need to apply for a record achieved with a split time. 

For all other meets you must apply for the record as results are not automatically checked. The meet must be a Swimming Victoria approved qualifying meet.

For records from a non-National meets outside Victoria, It is the swimmers responsibility to obtain a Meet Manger backup with the results from the meet organiser.

Applications must be received by the Swimming Victoria office within 30 days from the day of the swim. Applications may be rejected if received late or the meet was not granted qualifying status.

Reference for records kept in Victoria, refer to the Swimming Victoria Competition By-Law BL8 - CL15

Rankings Information

Rankings are automatically recognised at Swimming Victoria or Swimming Australia (SAL) meets, e.g. Victorian Championships and Australian Age Championships and Approved club meets in Victoria. These rankings are updated automatically and revised rankings posted several times a year.

Splits are generally not accepted, but will be accepted from State, National & International meets. These are not automatically extracted, and if you wish a split time to be acknowledged it is the swimmers responsibility to apply to the Rankings Officer for the time to be included.

For all other meets, interstate State Championships or club meets you must apply for the rankings to be looked at as these results are not automatically checked. Meets outside the State must be an approved qualifying meet for times to be included.

For non-National meets outside Victoria, It is your responsibility to get from the organiser a Meet Manger backup, or a TM File with the results.

Applications must be received by the Swimming Victoria Rankings Officer within 30 days from the day of the swim. Applications may be rejected if received late or the meet was not granted qualifying status.
