Competition Guide

How swimming galas work

Swimming galas are competitive events where swimmers compete against others in their age group and ability level. Here's what to expect.

Club Galas

Internal competitions for all club members to gain experience in a friendly environment. A great introduction to racing.

Open Meets

External competitions open to swimmers from multiple clubs at county or regional level. Requires ASA membership.

Championships

County, Regional and National level competitions requiring qualifying times. Our highest performers compete at British Championships.

What to expect on the day

Warm-up sessions
Before the competition starts, all swimmers get pool time to warm up.
Marshalling area
Swimmers wait here for their races to be called.
⏱️
Electronic timing
Accurate timing systems record every race automatically.
Medal ceremonies

Online results
All results are published online after the event.

Open Meet 2026

LSC End of Season Short Course Level 3 Open Meet

The Leatherhead End of Season Open Meet 2026 will take place on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th June at The Elmbridge Xcel Leisure Complex, Waterside Drive, Walton-on-Thames, KT12 2JG.

Event Details

Dates:Saturday 27 & Sunday 28 June 2026
Venue:The Elmbridge Xcel Leisure Complex, Waterside Drive, Walton-on-Thames, KT12 2JG
Level:Level 3 Open Meet, Short Course
Programme:All 50s and 100s, 200 Freestyle, 100 & 200 IM

Who can enter?

We will not have any lower qualifying times, so it's a great opportunity for swimmers with no licensed times to come along and get some.

For some, it will also provide the opportunity to get some 2027 County and Regionals qualifying times "in the bag" nice and early — or perhaps just round off the swim season with a few PBs.

We also have quite competitive upper qualifying times, so no group of swimmers is excluded. Perhaps your older/faster swimmers would like to update some times in events that they don't swim very often?

Interested in attending?

Whatever your reason, we would love to welcome you and your swimmers to our meet. Register your interest and we'll send final details as soon as they're available.
