With the change of our traditional Minnesota set of time standards to the National Age Group (NAG) time standards this past fall, along with the new method of determining our “Champ” times we have found that a number of important (unforeseen) circumstances have arisen.

Because of these issues the Minnesota Swimming Board of Directors will re-implement our time tested system of Minnesota time standards starting April 1, 2009.

We apologize for any confusion and issues that may have come up. We look forward to continue serving Minnesota swim members in the best possible way.

The time standards that will take effect April 1, 2009 are linked to the MSI website. For coaches, the Hy-Tek Team Manager file will be ready mid-March.
