_{CoCSC Mini Meets}

_{Cambridge Swimming Club Mini-Meets are an ideal introduction to competition aimed at swimmers who are new to, or with little competitive swimming experience. The Mini-Meet allows them to gain race experience, and for new swimmers obtain their first official times at a licensed meet in a low pressure environment. The meet is aimed at swimmers}_{in Academy, Pathway and Para squads.}

_The_{Mini-Meets are level 4 licensed events held at Parkside Pools, there are usually three events with timed heats and no finals with Spot Prizes awarded.}_{What this means is that your swimmer may win a heat but not be top of their age group so wouldn’t win a medal. This can be hard to understand the first time, so this season}_{for the first time we are also allocating prizes}_{to the heat winners at a Mini-Meet. Just remember, they have done well, they have tried something different and started their swimming journey…..}

_{For most swimming competitions, entry times are taken from the British Swimming Rankings which come out of licensed meets only. This is why we run mini-meets to give our swimmers a chance to get a ranked time so that they can swim in other competitions. If a swimmer does not have a Swim England licensed time for an event their coach will advise on an appropriate entry time. Entry process is through an emailed link, usually sent out 4 weeks in advance of the event, the entry asks you to commit or not commit your swimmer to the meet. Link Swimming Clubs Royston and Bottisham are also invited.}
