Heat Sheets
Heat sheets are a listing of how the meet is organized. It lists the events, swimmers, heats, seed times, and lanes. Heats usually get progressively faster (i.e., the last heat to swim each event usually has the fastest swimmers based on seed time).
Heat Sheets will be posted on our website the evening before a meet. They are also posted on the wall by the showers, bulletin board, and by the North Ramada. You can also print these out at home, but they are not available at the meet for purchase.
MARKING SWIMMERS
It is highly recommended to mark your child for their events.
To help the meets go smoother, PLEASE mark your child's right arm with all their events, heats, and lane numbers (open diagram above). PLEASE use a permanent marker (Sharpie or Sportsafe Marker) so the marking will last the entire Meet.
Hint: Put sunscreen on your child first and let it dry completely. Then, mark the arm & back.
FINAL REMINDERS...
