Open Meets Open Meets are organized by a number of Swimming Clubs up and down the Country. They are at various levels thereby allowing swimmers to compete against other swimmers of similar abilities. Sometimes they are licensed bythe ASA as follows:- Hoddesdon Swimming Club supports a number of Open Meets during the course of a year. Some of these are not licensed (eg Ours, Hitchin, Cheshunt, Stevenage) but we like to send a team of swimmers to these as they are very good for confidence building, experiencing the competitions and team building. You enter as an individual and can swim in as many races as you want to, provided that you meet any criteria for qualifying times. You usually need to give your best time on the entry form. If you do not enter a time and your entry is accepted, you will be put in the 1st heat, which is the slowest heat. Look out for meet details and entry forms on the notice board at John Warner Pool. Sue Spicer usually collects forms and co-ordinate entries. If you want to find out more please talk to someone on the committee, Mark Hatfield-UKC Winter Wonderland Meet 2009 Several Hoddesdon swimmers attended this Open Meet.There were some excellent results from the swimmers many of them achieving more than one Pb in the events they swam in.
