Compulsory Galas

In order to the meet squad criteria, there are a number of 'compulsory galas' which all squad members should enter, as follows:

January - LBESA 200/400m gala
January - EPSC Sprints
March - LBESA 50/100m gala
May - LBESA Level 3 Open Meet (qualifiers)
September/October - LBESA Juveniles (swimmers aged 8 to 11)

Further Club 'Open Meets' may be arranged during the year, dates will be shown on the Yahoo fixtures list. Squad members will be expected to enter and we would be grateful if parents could offer their help in running these events which are vital fundraisers for the club.

Open Meets

There are four tiers of structured competition. Open Meets are licensed according to the purpose of their competition as Level 1, 2 , 3 and 4.

Level 1 – is aimed at national qualifiers and swimmers close to national qualification looking for opportunities to achieve national qualifying times. These meets take place in 50m pools and have set minimum qualifying times for entry.

Level 2 – is also aimed at national and regional qualifiers and swimmers close to regional qualification. These meets take place in 25m pools and also have a set minimum time for entry.

Level 3 – is for club swimmers who are seeking regional and county qualifying times. These meets have qualifying times and upper limit times set at an appropriate level and will provide a programme throughout the year to support the requirements of swimmers below regional level.

Level 4 – is for club swimmers and those beginning to enter individual open competition.

National qualifying times will be accepted from meets licensed at level 1 and 2. Regional qualifying times will be accepted from meets licensed at level 1, 2 and 3.

League Galas - We enter three leagues, the National Arena Swimming League (U12 to Open), the M11 National Junior League (9yrs to 12 yrs) and the Essex League (which is aimed at swimmers who are not selected for individual events at Arena and M11). Information about the Arena League can be found on their website (see links page). We will select our fastest team for these galas, some swimmers will compete in individual events and relays, some may swim relays only but all are equally important to the team.
