Swimming meets — also known as swim meets — are competitions where swimmers race against one another in different events such as Freestyle, Backstroke, Breaststroke, and Butterfly.

​

There are several types of swim meets designed to suit swimmers at every level:

• Development Meets: Great for beginners, these meets focus on gaining experience and improving technique without the pressure of qualifying for higher-level events.

• Qualifying Meets: These allow swimmers to achieve times needed for entry into major competitions, such as State Age Championships.

• Interclub Meets: Open to all club members, regardless of age or ability, these fun and social events give swimmers the chance to compete against others of similar pace.

• Championship Meets: The pinnacle of competition, including Country Championships and State Age Championships (Senior and Junior).

• External Meets: Organised by other clubs or associations, these provide opportunities for swimmers to compete beyond their home club.
