Levels of 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 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.
