Why All Swimmers Should Enter Competitions

Entering Your First Open Meet

 

Licensed Open Meet is the term given to an officially recognised swimming competition organised under Swim England rules, to defined standards of organisation and refereeing. They form the structure of competitive swimming and are organised into distinct levels: 1, 2, 3 & 4 (4 being the lowest level) and enable swimmers to gain qualifying times for County, Regional and eventually National Championships.
