You must write your child’s Last Name their back right shoulder. You must write their Age Group on their back left shoulder. If we have manual timing sheets, their last name helps the timers verify they are recording the time for the correct swimmer. When Big Sharks are helping their Little Sharks out of the water, please make sure the timers can see their backs or arms. Use a Sharpie to write everything and do not use sunscreen after (sharpie will come off).

Suggestion: You should mark your swimmer to reflect which event, heat, lane, and relay they are racing. This is used to help remind the swimmer of their events. Use the Heat Sheet to find and highlight your child's events.

Mark the arm as illustrated below in the picture in the order of Event/Heat/Lane/Relay Leg. Write on clean, dry skin with no sunscreen.

(E = event, H = heat, L = lane). For relays, add a slash followed by the position on the relay after the lane# (1, 2, 3 or 4)
