For any new-to-swim team families- just a little explanation on how to write your swimmer’s events on their hands or arms. The list that Coach Lisa sent earlier has all of the swimmers with their events for tonight, as well as, what heat and lane they will be in for each event. 

You will see the event number, the heat/lane, what the event is. I have my son’s events shown and how to write it on their hand or arm. I add the little abbreviation for what the stroke is to help remind them. Even our youngest swimmers that might not be able to read or have any idea what it means, it’s helpful for the adults and older swimmers lining them up to know where they are swimming and what stroke they are doing.
