Development Meets (Tier 1)

These are meets for all of our swimmers from the beginners to the most advanced. Most of these meets have no qualifying times. They are usually a single day or at most a day and a half. They are held here in New Brunswick and all the NB clubs take turns hosting the meets.

All of our development meets this year will be parent meets with the transportation and overnight supervision of swimmers (where required) the responsibility of the parents. We will fund the meets in a block because the location and the need for an overnight stay vary from meet to meet. The aim is to cover the coaching costs for all of the meets. This includes the coach’s transportation, overnight stay and the daily per diem paid to each coach while at a meet.

This year the format for development meets has been changed. Some of the meets will have more than one session with the first session being 13 and under and the second being open to all swimmers. This should hopefully avoid some of the very long days some of our swimmers experienced last year. There will also be extra sessions at the end for long distance swims. Each session will be charged separately. For the dates below, each club is responsible for having the meet on the indicated weekend. Most will have the meet on the Saturday but that cannot be assumed for all meets.
