Marking your Swimmer

Please have your child's first name and last initial written on their back right shoulder, write FSR on back left shoulder. This will help the volunteer parents identify the swimmers when they are lining them up for their events.

Each swimmer should also arrive with the events marked on their leg or arm, as long as heat sheets have been emailed to families. The heat and lane assignments can be filled in once a final heat sheet is received. Below is an example of how to mark your swimmers.

E H L Reads: (only write the E - H - L columns)
3 1 4 (4) FR Event 3, Heat 1, Lane 4, swimmer #4 freestyle
15 1 3 FR Event 15, heat 1, lane 3 freestyle
35 1 2 IM Event 35, heat 1, lane 2, individual medley
55 2 1 FLY Event 55, heat 2, lane 1 butterfly
65 1 2 (1) BK Event 65, heat 1, lane 2, swimmer #1, backstroke

We use the following abbreviations but you do whatever works for your swimmer.

Freestyle - F or FR

Back - B or BK

Breast - BR

Butterfly - FLY

Individual medley - IM
