Thank you very much for coming to our meet. We hope you had both an enjoyable and successful time! First, apologies for the signing-in fiasco on Saturday: it was most unfortunate that the centre removed 2 of our 3 signing tables without letting us know. Nevertheless, I believe the swimmers soon got over the chaos of that moment, and proceeded to carry on the meet by swimming very well. Well done to all of them!!! I am also pleased to let you know that the following trophies were awarded at the end of the meet: Top Junior Boy: Andrew Jessop, Sevenoaks SC Top Senior Boy: Louis Phillips, Beckenham SC Top Junior Girl: Lucy Thornton, Ealing SC Top Senior Girl: Steffi King, Beckenham SC Top Visiting Club: Ealing SC
Well done to everyone, but particularly to the swimmers and club above! Thank you once more for attending our meet. All of us at Beckenham SC really appreciate your coming. Results can be obtained by clicking here A .PDF version of the results can also be downloaded or viewed here
Many Thanks, Beckenham SC Results Beckenham Open 8th/9th May 2010 - Crystal Palace NSC.
License No. 1LR0120 Thank you for coming to our meet, and for making it one of the liveliest meets to have ever taken place in Crystal Palace, thank you. Apologies to the Portsmouth Northsea, as we were later informed that certain swimmers were wrongly identified as being theirs, and as these swimmers were barefoot in a spectator area, a message went out saying so. Apologies. I sincerely hope that your swimmers swam well, and that a lot of their aspirations were met. Results can be obtained by clicking here Many congratulations to our Top Swimmers and clubs: Top Junior Boy - Julian Chan Quee Lin, Leander Top Junior Girl - Charlotte Newman, Edmonton Phoenix Top Senior Boy - John Slater, Basingstoke Bluefins Top Senior Girl - Sophie Drake, Canvey Island The Top Visiting Club was Portsmouth Northsea, and the runner up by 8 points, Hillingdon.

We all look forward to seeing you again next year!
What are Open Meets? Open Meets are swimming galas or competitions which can be entered by members of any swimming club (or even individual ASA registered members). Most Open Meets will have a time qualification regulating which swimmers can enter. The idea behind this is to give opportunities to all levels of swimmers to compete against swimmers of a similar ability at that time. In addition Open Meets usually contain age bands within which the swimmers can compete for medals – usually the higher the level of gala the fewer age bands and number of medals on offer.
What Times can I use for entry into Open Meets? When filling in a form to enter an Open Meet one has to be careful to ensure that the time entered is a valid time. The first thing to note is the only time which is acceptable for most Meets is an official time. This can either be a time recorded at a Licensed Meet which is recorded in the National Rankings or a time recorded by the official timekeeper at an Unlicensed Meet such as a team gala. After most team galas the Club receives a result sheet and these times can therefore be validated. Sometimes especially in Novice Events it may be acceptable to enter an estimated time particularly if a swimmer has no previous time for that event but this is only rarely the case and should be done in full consultation with swimmer’s Squad Coach.
Times recorded by parents in the stands or even by the Coaches on poolside are not official times. Only the official timekeeper can see when exactly a touch has been made. Relay splits cannot be used as entry times except the lead off legs of a freestyle or medley relay. Please remember that putting in a time faster than a swimmer’s PB is unlikely to help a swimmer unless this has been specifically agreed by the Coaches where for instance a swimmer has not swum an event for some time and other circumstances indicate that he or she is capable of going significantly faster.
Many meets will require a time from another Meet within a certain period or at a certain Level e.g. Regional Times can only be achieved at Level 1, 2 or 3 Meets so the Club Championships as Level 4 Meets would not be sufficient. Often the entry forms will require the date and name of the Meet to be entered on the entry form so that the organisers can check whether the times are acceptable for their Meet. Failure to meet the requirements will most likely result in rejection of the swimmer’s entry.
Q. At the Rising Stars Meet there were timing pads and an electronic scoreboard operating - why did the times on the Scoreboard not always agree with the times given in the results?
If things are working well both the primary and back up times are recorded and the referee receives a print out after each heat showing the positions of the swimmers in that heat and their primary and back up electronic times recorded. Usually the referee will only query the times on the sheet if they disagree with placings recorded by the finish judges and the referee or if there is a significant difference between the primary and back up times. In that case the referee will ask the Chief timekeeper to find out the manual time recorded by the timekeeper on the relevant lane. The referee may or may not adjust the official time recorded by the swimmer to take account of the placings recorded by judges or of the back up or manual times. Sometimes the timekeeper will mention a significant difference between the time on the scoreboard and the manual time he has recorded and again the referee may look into this and adjust the official time.
