A heat sheet is a printed listing displayed before and during a swim meet that tells swimmers what events they will compete in. It also defines the swimmer's lane assignments per event. Lanes are typically assigned based on seed times, with faster swimmers in the center of the pool.
Heat sheets will be available to all swimmers and parents a few days before each meet. Some parents like to print out the heat sheet to follow along for the duration of the meet.
No printer? That's okay! There are always a couple parents who print them out, and everyone shares!
