Timed Trials - heat sheet

April 25th

Hello Dolphins,

Our 2024 Timed Trials is upon us!

Please print out the attached heat sheet - there will not be any for sale the day of the meet. I've also attached the Individual Entries -- this lists the event-heat-lane that your swimmer is assigned to (mark them).

Download the SwimTopia app (see Home page of website).

On the website, go to

"Team Info" for the Pool Layout (jpeg attached)
"Swim Meet" --> "Timed Trials" for meet info

To bring: There will be no concession stand for the Mock Meet. Please be sure to bring snacks / water for your family. Bring a bag chair / canopy / blanket. We try to keep the bleachers as come-and-go seating, so that you can watch your swimmer and move along, giving a chance to another parent to see their swimmer. You can bring camp chairs to set up in the hallways, making sure to keep a walking path available. Since we are limited with space, we encourage parents to bring canopies / blankets / chairs to set up outside (on the SE side of BBAC). We have a speaker system to help us call out which events should be at the ready benches. Timed Trials run much quicker than dual meets, so keep your ears open!

Bring a marker. If you are new to competitive swimming, ask a returning swim family to show you how to “get marked.” Marking the kids arms (or legs, depending on how many events they swim in a meet) helps kids remember what they are swimming and also helps the ready bench volunteers place swimmers correctly. (R = race / event; H = heat; L = lane). An example:All officials will be in white shirts & blue shorts / pants, but we have lots of returning swim parents that can give advice as well!
