AT THE MEET: At each swim meet, the information you have given on entry cards will be incorporated into the meet program. When arriving at a meet the swimmer must check in to enter their races at least one half hour before their event. (They may check in for all events of the day at one time if desired). At some meets (called "Cardless" Meets), a sign will be posted in a designated area telling the swimmer which heat and lane they are assigned to for their particular race. They simply need to go to their lane to enter each race.

At meets which use cards, the swimmer will sign in for their events as above. But for each race they will be given a "card" with their lane and heat assignments on it. Normally the cards are distributed a short while before their event. The swimmer will bring the card to the lane they are assigned to, and turn it in to one of the adult timer persons (usually the timekeeper of the assigned lane). At some meets "consolidated" cards are used. This one "consolidated" card will list ALL the swimmers events for that particular meet.

Usually the coaches will know if a meet is cardless or not. When checking in, make sure you double check on the details of procedures for that meet. These instructions are very brief. Please contact your coaches or team president for further details.
