2026 Championship Predictions
Project every kid to next summer's age bracket using their lifetime PB at the same stroke and distance — even if it was set in an earlier age group. Rank, score, and total each event with ISL-style points (top 8: 9-7-6-5-4-3-2-1).
Methodology & caveats
- Each swimmer is projected to next year's age bracket via
last_age + (target_season − last_season). Swimmers who'd age out of the league (projected age > 18) are excluded. - Projected time = the swimmer's lifetime PB at the same gender / distance / stroke, across any age bracket. A strong 9-10 50 Fly drives the kid's 11-12 50 Fly ranking.
- Scoring approximates ISL: top 8 places earn 9-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 points each. Relays score double (18-14-12-10-8-6-4-2) and are now included in the team totals. Each club's relay lineup is computed by the same Relay Builder optimizer — fastest legal mixed-gender combination from their projected 2026 roster.
- Eligibility requires the swimmer's most recent race was within the last two seasons — keeps stale identities out of the projection.

Predictions assume each swimmer races their lifetime PB. Real meets involve drop time, nerves, taper, and off days. Treat this as the conservative-but-honest projection.
