Competition Results & Performances:

There are essentially two different types of competition in swimming; licenced and non-licenced events.  Those events that are licenced; open meets, county, regional, national championships, are open to all Swim England members.  Although we attend these competitions as a club, you can choose what events you enter and generally there is a separate fee to be paid.  The results from these events are posted onto the national rankings database for you to compare yourself against others and set your goals.  Non-licenced events are typically associated with swimming leagues.  These are swum under the same rules of competition as licenced meets but your generally competing as a club against other clubs.  The events that you will be asked to swim have been chosen by the coach for a number of different reasons.
