OPEN MEETS

Individual Open Meets:

Throughout the year there are a number of open meets.

​Open meets are for swimmers to compete in as individuals but representing Fleetwood. The term ‘open’ does not denote the age group, but simply means there is no restriction as to who may enter, so long as they are registered with the ASA.

​With Open meets there is considerable variety in events offered. For example some may be sprint meets (50m races) and some distance meets (200m to 1500m), but a programme of 100m, 200m and 400m events, with 50m for selected age groups, is the most usual format. Age groups may be anything from 9yrs to open age.

Level 1: Meets are long course (50m) only and cover National, Regional and County Championships. Their purpose is to enable athletes to achieve qualifying times for entry into National, Regional and County Championships.

Level 2: Meets are short course (25m) only and cover National, Regional and County Championships. Their purpose is to enable athletes to achieve qualifying times for entry into National, Regional and County Championships in short course.
