[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, OKM does. OKM uses heat sheets for every meet, from TT to B meets.[/quote]

Nice how long does it take to do entire time trials from 8 and under 15-18 all 4 strokes + IM? [/quote]

We don’t do IM in TT, so usually 2.5 hours for TT with most kids swimming all four strokes. For B meets, it’s about the same, even with IM and another team’s swimmers.[/quote]

Nice and your a D1 Team so the group must be large maybe others can follow your example . I know I would appreciate it. [/quote]

For B Meets, I suspect it takes a lot of organization and prodding the other team to share times/ensure all kids who are on the heat sheet will actually be there. There are hard deadlines to register for the B Meets. OKM collapses 9-12 kids (girls and boys) and 13U kids (girls and boys, although those seem to naturally fall into girl heats and boy heats) into heats by time. We use the same officials as A meets and they are very fast and efficient meets. [/quote]

Do you also consolidate the 9-12s in time trials? [/quote]

I don’t think so. Time Trials is tricky because they use last year’s best times, but some of our 12Us swim club and those times aren’t correct. This said, there may be enough parity with the club swimmers to fill one heat of, let’s say, 9-10 girls or 11-12 girls, so using last summer’s times may not really matter since they’ve all been swimming consistently. (I don’t know if that makes sense.)[/quote]

Do you distribute the heat sheets prior to the time trials ? Like the night or day before? It’s always a “ big secret “ at our pool .. [/quote]

OKM has historically distributed it ahead of time. OKM also shares the ladder after every meet, so we all know times. It’s a very transparent team. [/quote]

I wish the other pools in OKMS followed the same protocol, but it seems only those with privileged access are aware of it at our pool.[/quote]
