A meets are open for all swimmers to swim.

B meets are for those swimmers that have not bettered the Midlakes B-DQ time for a particular event. (They can swim other events in which they have not better the time.)

Each year Midlakes posts the B-DQ times on the Midlakes website.

This structure carries over to Division & League champs as well.

Any swimmer who has competed in 2 meets may swim at League Champ Prelims, but those swimmers that have better the B-DQ time may not swim at Division Champs. 

See link below for BDQ times.
