How swimming meets work
Meets are competitions where swimmers enter individual events using their personal best times. Swim England licenses meets at four levels:
🥇Levels 1 & 2
The highest grade, with strict qualifying times. Level 1 runs in 50m pools, Level 2 in 25m pools.
🥈Level 3
Where swimmers chase times for County and Regional Championship entry — with upper and lower time limits.
🥉Level 4
For club swimmers and newcomers — generally no minimum qualifying times. The perfect first meet.

Team racing
Our leagues
EDSC fields teams in four leagues across the season — from a first taste of racing to chasing the best club in the country.
🟢Tudor League
All ages · 6 galas, held locally in the first half of the year, against 8 local teams. The introduction to competing: upper time limits (usually Kent County qualifying times) keep the level friendly, the first 5 rounds decide the league and the 6th is a stand-alone shoot-out for the Tudor Cup. Our aim: introduce new swimmers to competition and get as many racing as possible. Coach: Paul Graimes.
🟡White Horse League
All ages · 4 galas in the first half of the year against 8 local teams — picking up where Tudor finishes in standard, again with upper time limits. All 4 rounds count. Our aim: field the strongest team possible, the fastest swimmer in each age group and stroke. Coach: Damian Edmonds.
🟠Kent Junior League
Up to age 13 · 3 galas across the county in March, June and September, against 24 teams, to find the fastest junior club in Kent. No upper time limits; all 3 rounds count. Our aim: the strongest possible junior team. Coach: Paul Graimes.
🔴National Arena League
All ages · 3 galas in October–December. We race in the NAL South (around 90 southern teams; other regions run in parallel) — the ultimate aim is to crown the best club in the country. No time limits, promotion and relegation apply. Our aim: the strongest team in every age group. Coach: Damian Edmonds.
How teams are selected
Selection is made by the coach responsible for each league, primarily on times recorded in SwimClub Manager from the current and previous season — alongside behaviour and effort in training, injuries/illness and training attendance. To be in the frame you'll be a hard worker with great attendance, aptitude and attitude, a team player who goes the extra mile and is injury free.
Swimmers may be picked for any events (not necessarily their favourites — the team's points come first) and occasionally for relays only. Swimmers may not be selected if they haven't followed the EDSC Code of Conduct, withdrew from a previous round in an unsatisfactory way, or didn't reply to selection in good time. Remember… it's a huge honour and privilege to be selected to represent your club. Go EDSC!
