REGIS JESUIT ALL-AMERICANS What is an All-American Swimmer? Each year, the National Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association (NISCA) publishes individual event and relay qualifying times for both “automatic” and “consideration” designations. The “automatic” standard is the 80th place time averaged over the past three years. The “consideration” standard is the top 150th place time averaged over the past three years. When a swimmer achieves the automatic qualifying time in a regularly scheduled interscholastic meet (up to and including State Meet performances), he is an “Automatic All-American.” At the end of the qualifying year, only the top 100 swimmers from the combined automatic and consideration lists are designated as “All-American." Those achieving the consideration time but not finishing in the top 100 receive the designation “All-American Consideration." A swimmer may be listed in as many events as his times qualify. Relay teams are limited to four swimmers only and only one relay team per event per school may qualify. Times achieved at high altitudes are adjusted downward by NISCA to ensure equitable comparison with those times achieved at sea level.
