Reading Heat Sheets

What is a Heat Sheet?

Heat Sheets tell you almost everything you need to know about the meet schedule. Looking at the Heat Sheet, you can see which teams are in the meet, where the meet is held, when it is, how many events there are, how many heats (or "sub events") there are, and who is swimming in each one. This section will give you a little background on how to read the Heat Sheet.

Writing It Down

You'll see this a lot...  It's a great way to help your swimmer remember when they'll be in the water.  Once you have your heat sheet, you can mark up your swimmer.  The writing definitely won't stop here:  Your child athlete will definitely want to "decorate" themselves some more...
