A Note about Heat Sheets
Heat Sheets are the “meet program” and list all of the events, heats, and lane assignments for the swim meet. Our relay teams will also have names on the Heat Sheet. While they are not required, we highly encourage everyone to get a Heat Sheet or at least share between families. Every swimmer should be on the Heat Sheet if you registered for the meet.
