USA Swimming Motivational Times are goal-oriented benchmarks established by USA Swimming, the national governing body for competitive swimming in the United States. These times are designed to provide swimmers with targets to strive for during their training and competition.
Motivational times are set for various age groups andstrokes, and they are updated every four years to reflect the changing standards of the sport. Swimmers who achieve motivational times are recognized by USA Swimming and may be eligible for additional training opportunities or competition.
