Learn more about how athletes perform relative to club size by diving into the data below. The interactive data graph shows the median time of a given event based on gender and club size. Club sizes can be broken down into 1-75, 76-200, 201-499 and 500+ athlete members.

Tips for using the graph:

• Select different events, competition categories, club sizes and age groups to better understand the national median times.
• Hold down the “Ctrl” key on your keyboard to click more than one filter.

Key takeaways from USA Swimming Data Scientist Corey Manley:

• It's important to note the median time here is the 50th percentile of all data in a selection, not the traditional arithmetic mean or traditional average some of us are used to.
• The sharpest drop-off of any club size appears to be between 76-200 and 201-499.
• In a large number of events, you can see clubs with 1-75 swimmers tend to outperform clubs with 76-200 swimmers, especially in the older age groups.
