Marking Your Swimmer
Please have your child's first name written on their back right shoulder, write FSR on back left shoulder. This will help the coaches identify the swimmers when they are lining them up for their events.
* New parents, are we asking you to mark your child with a sharpie? Yes! There are special swim pens out there but sharpies are the the go to. Make-up wipes are the best way to remove the markings after the meet.
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 | |

| 65 | 1 | 2 (1) BK | Event 65, heat 1, lane 2, swimmer #1, backstroke |
