Swim Meets

There are a number of different types of meets that swimmers can enter.

  1. Internal meets: These meets are run by the Centenary Dolphins Swim Club. They could be anything

from time trial meet during a training program or Club Championships.  Our own club meets are compulsory for all members.

 

2. Development or Transition meets: These meets are for the inexperienced swimmers to gain

confidence in racing in a low-key environment.  All swimmers in the Development and Junior Squads are encouraged to enter. (The flyer for the swim meet will give you the information you             need for entry).

 

  1. Proposed Qualifying meets: These meets will be approved by Swimming QLD and/or Swimming Australia. If a Qualifying Time is gained from these meets it can be used to enter State and National championship meets.  All swimmers from Junior Competition through to Gold squad should regularly attend these meets as per the Centenary Dolphins website competition calendar.

All the above competitions are race meets that all swimmers strive to compete in, but it is a long way off for the swimmers that are just starting out in the Junior squad program.  We can make the ultimate goal a little easier to achieve by chasing the qualifying times of the JX program (Junior Excellence Award Scheme).
