USA Swimming
The main governing body of competitive swimming in the United States. In the United States, the "national level" of competitive swimming can be broken down into three distinct swim meets: Sectionals, Futures, and Nationals. A meet is considered a national level meet if it is hosted and sponsored by USA Swimming, not an individual club or high school team.
Sectionals
The first level of national competition in USA Swimming. A Sectional meet can be compared to a state level swim meet, with Sectionals representing the top 5% of swimmers worldwide. SwimZone is proud to have four instructors who have qualified and competed at the Sectional level.
Futures
One step up from Sectionals. Futures can be thought of as a regional level swim meet, with Futures representing the top 3% of swimmers worldwide. SwimZone is proud to have two instructors who have qualified and competed at the Futures level.
Junior. Nationals
The highest level of USA Swimming. Junior Nationals is a swim meet for the entirety of the USA, representing the top 1% of swimmers worldwide. SwimZone has not had any instructors qualify for this meet, but we hope to see some soon!
