Help - Athlete Analysis

The athletes swim times history is converted into FINA points (2024) and plotted in relation to the age of the swimmer. Note that the swimmer's birthday is normalized to the 1st of January.
This has two benefits:

• when comparing two swimmers of the same age group, the competitions dates are aligned
• the competitions are aligned to the nation's LCM season

Short and long course times are shown in the same plot:

• SCM Short Course Meters (25 m): circles
• LCM Long Course Meters (50 m): squares

NIVEAU Curves

These curves are an approximation of the Rudolph point table (2024).

• Anmerkung zur Punktetabelle.pdf
• Rudolph Tables since 2004

Rudolph points are a measure of the simmers age-appropriate performance. They base on the analysis of swim results of German swimmers and were developed by Dr. Klaus Rudolph.

• [0] Rudolph points: Beginner
• ]0-5] Rudolph points: Intermediate
• ]5-10] Rudolph points: Local level
• ]10-15] Rudolph points: Regional level
• ]15-20] Rudolph points: National level

Note that swimmers reaching high Rudolph points at an early age does not necessarily mean that they become the future top athletes.

RANKEQUIVALENT Curve

This curve approximates the FINA points needed to reach a specific rank. It is based on results of season 2016-2019 top times LCM of 10-19 years old swimmers. Supported nations:
BEL, CAN, EST, FAR, LTU, NED, POL, POR, SUI, SVK, SRB

Overall Progress - 650 FINA Percentiles

The 650 FINA percentiles base on national swimming result data. Each season, the swimmer's top 3 FINA results are averaged. LCM- and SCM seasons are considered individually. 
60% of the athletes who reach at least 650 FINA points in their career pass the inner band. The outer band covers 90% of those athletes.
Supported nations:
BEL, CAN, EST, FAR, LTU, NED, POL, POR, SUI, SVK, SRB
