Methodology: projections come from the same 2026 forecast that powers Predictions — each swimmer's lifetime PB matched into the bracket they'll race next summer, ranked against everyone else doing the same. Each cell shows the BEST rank from either gender (boys-best, girls-best). Empty cells (—) mean no swimmer projects into the top 8 in that event for your club.
We're building the same kind of profiles, records, and progression tracking for every youth swim league in the country. ISL families get early access.
