It is also  for those younger swimmers who are beginning to compete for the first time. There are no qualifying times. There are upper limit times so swimmers that have swum faster than these limit times since September 1st in the year prior to competition, may not enter the event concerned. Swimmers who do not have times can enter but should speak to their coach first before doing so.
