🟢Tudor League
For swimmers of all ages: six galas held locally during the first six months of the year, between eight local teams. It is an introduction to competing, so every event has an upper time limit — usually the Kent County Championship qualifying time — to keep the level of competition in check.
The first five rounds decide the league's overall positions. The sixth gala is a separate competition, in which swimmers race to win the Tudor Cup.
Our aim: to introduce new swimmers to competition, and to give as many swimmers as possible the chance to race.
🟡White Horse League
For swimmers of all ages: four galas held locally during the first six months of the year, between eight local teams. It picks up where the Tudor League finishes in standard, and every event again has an upper time limit.
All four rounds count towards the league's overall positions.
Our aim: to field the strongest team possible, selecting the fastest swimmers in each age group and stroke.

🟠Kent Junior League
For swimmers up to 13 years of age: three galas held across the county in March, June and September, between 24 teams, to find the club with the fastest junior team in Kent. There are no upper time limits, so the level of competition is not restricted.
All three rounds count towards the league's overall positions.
Our aim: to field the strongest team possible, selecting the fastest swimmers in each age group and stroke.
🔴National Arena League
For swimmers of all ages: three galas in October, November and December. We race in the National Arena League South, which has around 90 teams from the south of England; other regions run their own competitions at the same time. The ultimate aim of the league is to crown the best club in the country.
There are no upper time limits. All three rounds count towards the overall positions, and the top and bottom teams are promoted and relegated.
Our aim: to field the strongest team possible, selecting the fastest swimmers in each age group.
