FAQ - General Gala Info:

Gala closing dates: Where there is a closing date listed you must get your entries in by this date. However, Entries Open for some meets several months before the actual meet; to be sure of getting all the events you want it is best to get your entries in before the date given in - "Entries to be in by xxxx" - for the initial club entries submission, final entries will be submitted at a later date if the meet is not full.

Pool sizes: All galas/meets are Short Course (SC) ie in a 25 metre pool unless listed as Long Course (LC) ie in a 50 metre pool.

Swim England (SE aka ASA) Membership Number: To compete in Open Meets you will need your unique Swim England Membership Number which can be found on the SwimmingResults.org website (Swim England Membership Check).

Swim England Membership Categories: To compete in Open Meets or the Yorkshires swimmers must have 'SE Club Compete' (previously 'Category 2') membership. All other galas - including Invitational Meets - only require 'SE Club Train' (previously 'Category 1') membership. Swimmers can upgrade from 'SE Club Train' to 'SE Club Compete' if required.

Swim England Rankings Times (ie Electronic PBs): Your Individual Best Times (All Time) and Individual Best Times (Last 12 Months) can be viewed on the SwimmingResults.org website (Individual Best Times).

Converting Times: Times can be converted between Long Course and Short Course (and vice versa) on the SportSys website.

Licensed Meet Levels: Invitational Meets are Level 4 - and times can be used for the Yorkshires but not for the Regionals; Open Meets are Level 3; Yorkshires and Regionals are Level 2 (Short Course) or Level 1 (Long Course).
