The World Aquatics Points Table allows comparisons of results among different events. The World Aquatics Point Scoring assigns point values to swimming performances, more points for world class performances typically 1000 or more and fewer points for slower performances.
The exact formula is used to calculate points from times. Then all point values are truncated to the integer number. In point tables named with years 2009 and earlier, the point values are rounded.
Fina Points
If the needed time (T) for a certain number of points (P) should be calculated, the exact formula is used to calculate a first estimation. Then the time should be reduced by one hundredth of a second as long as the reverse calculation with the time still results in the original number of points.
Below files mention the formula for calculating World Aquatics points , the base time used in the formula and the points that would be allotted to athletes for achieving a particular timing in LCM or SCM.
Every swim listed in the USA Swimming times database includes a Power Point value. This point system allows for comparison of the quality of performances across strokes, distances and events, as well as between age groups. The power point scale ranges from 1 to 1100 points. The higher the points, the stronger you are in that event. We use these points to rank you and your club in our IM Ready, IMX and Virtual Club Championships programs.
The FINA Points Table allows comparisons of results among different events. The FINA Points Table assigns point values to swimming performances, more points for world class performances typically 1000 or more and fewer points for slower performances.
The reason for this is the flaw in the methodology of how the points are calculated. The formula is so simple that I could easily expect any high school freshman with a calculator and no knowledge of swimming to be able to do it in fifteen seconds flat:
In the proposed system, the time in each event corresponding with 900 points is equal to the averages of the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th ranked times from the world ranking. For each of the past three years, the times from each Long Course season are added up and divided by five to get an average for each year. Then, the averages for each year from the past three years (for 2014, it would be 2011, 2012 and 2013) are averaged together to form the final, overall benchmark. The 800 point minimum is the same, except the times ranking 18th-22nd are used.
I know fina points aren t fair. Especially beause longer races tipically do more points than shorter races because % of time affected in shorter races were bigger with the suits than in longer races (maybe except the 800 by zhang Lin)
The level of expertise must be defined for the sample studied when reporting research in sport. Concretely in swimming, apart from the participants' background, the competitive status is based on the level that swimmers participate. Thus, the International Swimming Federation (FINA) points are added to improve the sample level characterization. The aim of this study was two-fold: (1) to assess whether national and regional swimmers from different countries differ in their performance level (based on FINA points), and (2) to propose a model that allows standardizing the research results in swimming. The FINA points of 5876 participants (males = 2962 and females = 2914) in 100 m butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle were retrieved from nationals (n = 21) and regionals (n = 44) swimming competitions. One-way analysis of variance was conducted to test the difference in FINA points between swimmers of different countries. Significant disparities (100-350 FINA points; p Highlights- The current classification of swimmers' status could lead to misleading conclusion when comparing studies from different countries using national or regional swimmers.- The proposed model will allow to better standardize the research results in swimming, aiding to draw more accurate conclusion when comparing results from different studies.
Multiple linear regression analysis of swimming performance, i.e. FINA points, as dependent variable and competition (comp.) [years] age, relative age [month of birth], and chronological (chronol.) [years] age as predictors with standardized (beta_i) and unstandardized (b_i) regression coefficients in male swimmers

To compare race times between swimming strokes and race distances, FINA (Fédération Internationale de Natation) points for each race time were calculated [15]. FINA points are the official method of the International Swimming Association to relate race times to the current world record, i.e. 1000 points.

The 2008 World Cup was staged at seven venues on five continents, with each meet following a heats and finals format for all events, with the exception of the 800 m and 1500 m freestyle and 400 m individual medley events which were heat-declared winners. The Brazil meet at Belo Horizonte was held as a three-day meet with evening heats and finals the following morning, with the remaining six meets being held over two days with morning heats and evening finals on each day. The order of events at each meet was the same.
At each meet of the World Cup circuit in 2008, the FINA Points Table[8] was used to rank all swim performances at the meet. The top 10 men and top 10 women were then awarded World Cup points. Bonus points were awarded for a world record broken (20 points) or equalled (10 points).[9] The number of World Cup points awarded were doubled for the final meet of the World Cup in Berlin.
It likely means your Power Index will get higher. Using the men\u2019s 100 yard backstroke as an example, the base time is changing from 47.32 to 46.85. This reflects what it now takes to actually be invited to the NCAA Division I Championship. That means a male backstroke recruit whose best time is 48.50 will now receive 11.94 points for that event instead of 8.67. Here\u2019s how the points will change for boy\u2019s 100 backstroke recruits with different times.
Long story short - don\u2019t freak out. In fact, coaches search for other things (like GPA\u2019s and standardized test scores) and if your profile is missing either one, its more likely to affect a coach\u2019s interest than a few points difference in a recruit score.
The second Sierra Leone swimmer to compete in the World Championship in South Korea was Alie Kamara in the 50m breaststroke on Tuesday 23rd July 2019. He came in 7th out of 10 swimmers with a time of 37.79 secs and scored 232 FINA points and was ranked 75th out 78 swimmers. Before going to the competition his personal best time was 37.65 seconds. Kamara said he was not happy with the time but he is going to make sure that in the next event he drastically reduces his time in the 50m backstroke on Friday 26 July 2019.
High tension in the Berlin SSE arena: In the last final section of the FINA Swimming World Cup in the German capital, the decision in the meeting ranking will be made on Sunday (7:00 p.m. in the live stream on All Aquatics). Three races of each athlete are included in the ranking, which are made up of placement points and FINA points (which put the times in relation to the respective world record). In the end, $12,000 each goes to the best male and female, followed by $10,000 for second place and $8,000 for third place. This runs all the way to 20th place, for which 4,000 US dollars are still being paid out. So every tenth can be worth a pretty penny. We can expect competitive races in the afternoon.
The athletes of the German Swimming Federation (DSV) are then again represented in four finals with good prospects. Angelina Köhler over 100m butterfly (57.73), Marius Kusch over 50m butterfly (22.64) and Marco Kochover 200m breaststroke (2:07.71 minutes) all came in third in their respective heats. Isabel Gose and Sarah Wellbrock also have chances for a medal again in the fastest heat over 800m freestyle.
In this quantitative study with a cross-sectional design, thirty-two elite swimmers (age: 14.99 0.13 years old; height: 1.71 0.02 m; body mass: 61.28 1.27 kg; Fédération Internationale de Natation [FINA] points: 651.59 6.44) and 17 non-elite swimmers (age: 14.65 0.19 years old; height: 165.12 2.03 cm; body mass: 57.22 2.43 kg; FINA points: 405.71 21.41) volunteered to participate in this cross-sectional study. Elite swimmers were considered those who were members of the Portuguese National Swimming Team and non-elite swimmers were considered those who competed at a national level. All subjects were free of any functional limitation that would preclude them to perform the experimental protocol and had at least one year of experience in swimming competitions. Subjects were excluded if they reported any musculoskeletal injury in the last year. All subjects and their parents were informed beforehand about the benefits, risks, purposes, and procedures of the study and gave their written consent. The current study was conducted according to the Declaration of Helsinki and the protocol was fully approved by the Institutional research ethics committee of the University of Beira Interior (CE-UBI-Pj-2018-051:M7247).
