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.

At every Bluefins meet, our swimmers dive in ready to give it their all. But behind the racing, there’s a team making sure every start, turn, and finish really counts. That team is our officials. Here’s the truth: without officials, there are no licensed swims, no personal bests on rankings, no records. The even better truth? Any parent can step up and do it.

A huge thank you to Winchester City Swimming Club for hosting such a fantastic Summer Scorcher meet to close out the season. It was the perfect way for our Bluefins squad to round off an amazing year of racing — full of fast swims, team spirit, and plenty of smiles.
