Using a waterproof marker (Sharpie), write four column headings on your swimmer’s arm:  E, H, L, S – for Event, Heat, Lane and Stroke respectively.

Continue filling in the grid until all of your swimmer’s event information is on the arm.

You can abbreviate the stroke:  Freestyle = FR, Backstroke = BK, Butterfly = FL, Breaststroke = BR, IM.  Relays....put the stroke your swimmer will swim.

For this Event, Jan's arm would read:

E H L S

12  1   5  50 FR  (means event 12 - heat 1 - lane 5 in the 50 Freestyle)

Note: Our league only has events 1 through 68.

Example of what the arm of your swimmer may look like:
