swimming meets

Timed aquatic competitions

Swimming meets are organized competitive events where swimmers race against each other across various distances and strokes.

They range from local youth competitions to elite championship events.

A meet typically spans several hours or days, with preliminary heats followed by finals: She has a swimming meet this Saturday.
