USA Swimming has added 14 new swimmers to the National Junior Team with three new girls and eleven new boys added to the official roster.

All members of the 2019-2020 National Junior Team retain their spots for the upcoming year’s team, while new athletes must be registered USA Swimming members who are 18 years or younger and can represent the U.S. in international competition as of December 31, 2020. New athletes who are selected to the 2021 U.S. National Junior Team pool roster will be named in January 2021 and will remain on the roster until August 31, 2021.

To be selected to the National Junior Team, athletes must meet the general criteria above. The Team will then be selected based on the following performance criteria:

The two (2) eligible athletes with the highest World Ranking in each individual Olympic event (up to 28 women and 28 men); and
The eligible athletes with the third (3rd) and fourth (4th) highest World Ranking in the 100 and 200 meter long course freestyle (up to 4 women and 4 men); and
Additional athletes who have achieved a long course meter time faster or equal to the time standards listed in the selection criteria doc.
