Posted Feb. 4, 2007: Effective January 2007, Southern California Swimming has elected to use the time standard designations Blue, Red, and White. This change was due to past confusion between SCS time standards and USA Swimming time standards. The new BLUE designation is the old "A" standard, the new RED is the old "B" standard, and the new WHITE is the old "C" standard.

There is also a change in the "AA" meet names - the new June Invite is the old summer "AA" championship meet and the new December Invite is the old winter "AA" championship meet.

For a complete list of the new time standards, please consult the SCS website (socalswim.org) or the 2007 SCS Swimming Guide.
