The World Para Swimming Points System is used at World Para Swimming World Series competitions. All athlete results at each world series event will be calculated using a standardized points system. This will ensure that the overall World Para Swimming World Series winner will be the best performing athlete over the duration of the series, meaning that every performance counts.

QUOTES<\/u>
\nMcKenzie Coan<\/b>
\n\u201cIt means so much to sweep the event and be up here with these girls. There\u2019s nothing better than that. It really shows how strong the U.S. women are, and that we can come to any meet and dominate. I think it\u2019s really exciting for where we\u2019re at in the season. It should be a great year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lizzi Smith<\/b>
\n\u201cThat was the best that a 100 fly has felt, and I think that goes a lot to my training. Even taking time off has helped me relax as a swimmer, get out of my head, and let my body do the work that it needs to do. My 100 fly time tonight<\/span><\/span> was just two-tenths of a second off of my Rio time, and for only being back in the water for three months, it gives me a lot of hope for what the rest of the season is going to look like.\u201d<\/p>\n
