Swimmers who wish to qualify for the CIF Southern Section Swimming Championships must have equaled or bettered the time standards in any CIF-SS sanctioned dual, triangular, or invitational swim meet between the start and end dates specified for the high school season. For the CIF Southern Section Swimming and Diving Championships, there are both automatic (Auto.) and consideration (Con.) standards.  Swimmers/Divers who achieve the automatic standard will be entered in that event. Additional entries will be based upon the consideration standards which will be used to fill up remaining entries. Those swimming in meter pools, please refer to the National Federation Rule Book for the conversion formula to convert time standards to meters.
