CIF State Meet Qualifying Standards
As a reminder, the various California Sections may send swimmers and divers to the State Meet, using the following formula for each event:
- CIF Southern 5
- CIF North Coast 3
- San Diego 3
- CIF Sac-Joaquin 3
- CIF Central Coast 3
- CIF Central 2
- CIF Los Angeles 2
- CIF Northern 1

At-Large Entries
Sections may enter additional competitors provided they have met or bettered the “At-Large” Automatic or Consideration standard for their event in their Section Meet finals that qualifies athletes for the CIF State Swimming & Diving Championships. In the event that there are not 40 automatic qualifiers, consideration times will be used to fill each event to 40 qualifiers/relay teams. “At-Large” AND Consideration qualifying times must achieved in Finals of the Section Championships.
Diving: No At Large Qualifiers. Each section will get one additional entry for diving.
Many will probably not go to the state meet since swimming unlike track and field you have a peak period and many swimmers want to get back to their club teams. That doesn’t mean that some elite high school kids will not do it for example Eastin did it last year went to the state meet and still swam great in college.
