There are four tiers of structured competition.
Open Meets are licensed according to the purpose of their competition as Level
1, 2, 3 or 4.
• Level 1 is aimed at National qualifiers and swimmers looking for opportunities
to achieve National
qualifying times. These meets will have qualifying times for
entry, which will be just below the national
times.
• Level 2 is aimed at Regional qualifiers and swimmers close to those times.
They have qualifying times
and upper limit times. Access to the ASA ranking
information can be used tenable meet organisers to
verify entry times submitted
by swimmers who fall within the stated range. These are sometimes also
referred
to as ‘B’ Grade Meets
• Level 3 is for Club swimmers who seek County qualifying times. They have
qualifying times and upper
limit times set at an appropriate level. These meets
will provide a programme throughout the year to
support the needs of swimmers
below Regional level. These are sometimes also referred to as ‘B’ or
‘C’ Grade
Meets
• Level 4 is for Club swimmers and those beginning to enter individual open
competition. National
qualifying times will be accepted from meets licensed at
Levels 1 and 2.North West Region qualifying
times will be accepted from meets
licensed a Level 1, 2 and 3.
• Qualifying & Upper Limit Times These are times set by meet organisers for each
event in the
programme in order to control the number of entries in a meet. A
Qualifying Time is the time that a
swimmer must have already achieved in order
to enter the competition. However, some meets will
also have an Upper Limit Time
(ULT) for each event, which means that swimmers who have
previously achieved
times faster than the ULT are not eligible for this event. The effect of having
Qualifying Times and Upper Limit times for a meet is to target swimmers in a
particular time range.
Qualifying Times are set for National, Regional and most
County competitions and these also provide a
standard which coaches can use to
indicate the level of their swimmers. For example, within a club,
swimmers may
be selected for particular training groups if they have County, Regional or
National
qualifying times. Licensed Meet Qualifying Times are submitted into the
National Ranking system and it
is possible to check these at
www.britishswimming.org and then follow the links to Rankings.
