What do the swim meet terms POND and AS stand for next to heat times?

Question

When I look at swim times for my 8 year old boy, some of the top times have POND or AS next to them.

Anybody know what they mean?

Answer 1

We have that too, but ours dont have the same letters, so im guessing like ours there cuts they have, like JO would be the Junior Olympic cut, or NCSA would be a sectional cut, so it is probably a certain cut they made for there time. Sorry im not much help, there different depending on where you live, so im not sure exactly what those letters stand for
