USA Swimming announced the format change Tuesday and also released the qualifying times for both that meet and the ensuing Junior Nationals (short course).<\/p>\n<div class=\"oembed-wrap\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The 2018 Winter Nationals and Junior National cuts are ready to go.

Prior to the 2016 Olympic Trials, cuts were released in Sept. 2014, with the qualifying period beginning two months earlier.<\/p>\n<p>This year&#8217;s Winter Junior Nationals will again be split between East and West, with meets in Greensboro and in Austin, Texas.
