They&amp;#39;re publishedin Swim Magazine along with the Nationals entry form (around February or March).  

But you can enter up to three individual events, without meeting the times -- they only apply if you enter more than three events. So everyone in your club, who wants to, can go whether or not they meet the times.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Time Standards</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/273253?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 10 Oct 2002 01:09:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:a5c50e7c-c705-4f4c-9347-e6f9d352c864</guid><dc:creator>michaelmoore</dc:creator><description>You can go to:

That is the short course NQTs for 2002.  I assume that you are in the 19-24 age group as waiting 1.5 years is a long time:cool: I checked the prelim to last years and there is not much of a change; all are pretty close. (If you want the exact time take the National tenth place time for the past three years, total them, divide by 3 and add 10% - If you dont have a tenth place time for all three years, go to the rule book :D . and make friends with a Math major).

Good luck in Indianapolis
