Where can I find my child's results and how do I understand them?

Question

Accepted Answer

We publish results of all competitions on our results page. These include licenced meets, Interhouse swims, club championships and any individual swims undertaken during a BML competition.

You can also find results of any licenced galas on the British Swimming website rankings (https://www.swimmingresults.org/individualbest/)page. These will also have performance graphs so it is worth looking at this page.

When we compile results we always convert the times from a short course time to a long course time and vice versa.  The theory is that a swimmer goes faster in a 25m pool (short course) than a 50m pool (long course), but a converted time can be used by clubs and swimmers.  This swimming time converter (https://swimleeds.myswimmingclub.uk/timeconverter)will explain more.

Because we use all results, whether they are licensed meets, interhouse or club champs results, and we automatically convert them, the PB's (personal bests) that we highlight on our results pages may occasionally look different to the ones on the official rankings pages.
