Pool competitions are events where swimmers compete against each other in a pool. They usually involve swimming races of different lengths and styles, such as freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. Competitors must adhere to the rules of the competition and the pool, such as the number of lanes, the length of the pool, and the type of stroke used. The winner is usually determined by the fastest time or the most points accumulated during the event. The term MEETS is used to describe these competitions.
