All entry times MUST appear on rankings and may be short course or long course. Do not submit converted times.

We will convert short course times using the ASA equivalent performance tables.

If you are not sure which of your times short or long course is better, please submit both. We will work out which one is the better time and accept that. If you do this, the total entry fee shown on your entry confirmation will be incorrect. Don't worry, you will only have to pay for accepted swims. 

After careful consideration of the rules for Region Championships in the ASA Competition Pathway and the criteria for level 1 open meets, we have decided that we cannot accept first leg relay splits for entry to this competition.

We have returned to a "traditional" pattern of a 3 day youth (15/over) competition over the first bank holiday weekend in May and 4 days for age groups (14/under).

This is following a strong directive from the ASA, which resulted from a number of parents expressing concerns about having the Region Youth Championships in the middle of the exam period. Their concern is that this places unnecessary pressure on swimmers to prioritise swimming over examination preparation.

The Region Coaches Panel believe that this decision is not the right one from a purely swimming perspective, taking into account the timing of the British Championships (Olympic Trials) and the qualifying window for British and Home County National Championships. Nevertheless, the Region Swimming Group has to balance the swimming and educational needs of swimmers.

We have organised the 15/Over events over 3 days, which includes distance events and teams. 

We have organised the 14/Under over 4 days, which has reduced the number of finals per day and will allow a higher number of swimmers to be accepted into heats.

The ASA has decided that it is not possible to set a single set of QTs applicable to all regions.

After consultation with coaches, the Swimming Group decided on the following approach to planning the 2016 championships:

• There will be separate sessions for finals 
   
• Because we only have experience of 1 year operating the current programme of events and age groups, we need to have flexibility to manage the number of entries. We will set automatic qualifying times and base (consideration) times. Swimmers who achieve the automatic times will be accepted. Swimmers who achieve the consideration time, but not the automatic time, will be considered if there is time available.
   
• Last year only about 30% of swimmers qualified by achieving the automatic times. This year our target is that at least 60% of swimmers will achieve the automatic times. 
   
• Our target this year is to be able to accept ALL swimmers who achieve the consideration time, but that cannot be guaranteed.

Qualifying times are based on last year's results. We have a target number of entries per age group per event. We have had to address some anomalies and to make allowance for swimmers choosing to enter more events because the competition is spread over more sessions.

The target number of entries (per age band) is as follows:
