According to Fina rules is also important where you swim it. However this is just an overview as, especially for best nations, real selection will be harder and later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlFHg 330 Posted March 17, 2019 #35 Share Posted March 17, 2019 There is also a very young French athlete that has actually achieved a B standard, but I don’t think she will be able to compete as she will be 15 next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FINA has published a list of meetings where it is possible to achieve A standards. I have been checking all those indicated and Campbell sisters were not taking part. Obviously it may be that I missed a meeting. As regards the young French, here it is: https://www.liveffn.com/cgi-bin/resultats.php?competition=59271&langue=fra&go=detail&action=participant&iuf=1724832 However she took part in 200 breast, not 50 free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a good performance, but nothing extraordinary. That time would be tied 7th on the US all time list for 13/14 year old girls. The american record for 13/14 year old girls is 2:25.75 by Amanda Beard from 1996. Last year at the junior european championships there was a 15 year old russian girl swimming 2:26.29 and a 14 year old girl from Isreal swimming 2:29.31. Especially in the 200 breast we often see girls like that who then never do anything at senior level. Just look at Solnceva who was swimming 2:19 as a junior in 2015 and still hasnt won anything at senior level. Edit: To make the A standard she would have to swim more than 4 seconds faster (2:25.52).
