The club is drawing up a list of open meets we are targeting for 2009/2010 and for those of you new to the game we thought it appropriate to give a short description of open meets. The first meet we are targeting will be late November or early December. Some swimmers may want to do extra meets outside of this programme and they should always consult their coach before entering. Open meets are run by swimming clubs or groups of swimming clubs and cover a full range of age groups and events and occupy a full weekend. The importance of open meets is that they give swimmers valuable experience of competition and above all provide them with times to measure their progress. They are also very important to obtain qualifying times for County, Regional and National competitions. A diary will be published in due course and updated when we get information about meets for next year. The meets are in four levels and reflect the grade of swimmer for whom the competition is designed and the table below summarises the ASA rules from September 2009 onwards. Level 4 meets are not common and are usually for club championships.

The entries for a meet involve a fair amount of work and we are looking for volunteers to help with this. A competition secretary to oversee meet entries and those for the Gloucester County Championships would be very desirable. Any help would be greatly appreciated and a number of volunteers would be helpful so the workload can be spread. If you feel you would like to help then please contact me.
