Australian Age Championships qualifying times
The Australian Age Championships are Swimming Australia's national age-group meet and the top of the pathway modelled here. Entry is long course only — a short-course time, however fast, cannot be used to qualify.
Australia Multi Class qualifying times
Published per classification (S, SB and SM) rather than per age alone.
The national age-group championship's Multi Class programme. One cut per classification (S, SB or SM by stroke) in three age bands, long course only.
View timesThe senior national championship's Multi Class programme. One open-band cut per classification — no age groups — long course only, so a swimmer of any age enters on the same standard.

Use the age the swimmer will be on the meet's age-as-at date, which each championship page states. Standards are published per age group and per event — where a table shows no time for an event at an age, that event simply isn't offered to that group.
