If your swimmer has started competing, you’ve probably heard the term “Licensed Meet.” You might even have seen codes like “Level 3 – LC” on a meet notice and wondered what it all means.

Basingstoke Bluefins enjoyed an incredible week at the English Championships, with six days of standout performances — including club records, medal-winning swims, multiple finals, and countless personal bests. A true showcase of determination, skill, and team spirit, making it one of our most successful national meets yet.

Massive congratulations to our 16 Bluefins swimmers who have qualified for the 2025 Summer National Championships in Sheffield. This is a phenomenal achievement for the club, and a reflection of the talent, commitment, and hard work of our athletes, coaches, and wider Bluefins family.
