Event Order
Please check the Bullpen board often so you do not miss an event! At HRCA we usually line up 5-7 events ahead of the race on deck. (Example: Event 36 is swimming, but event 40 will be in the bullpen.)
1-10 Butterfly
11-25 Freestyle Relay
26-35 Individual Medley (IM)
36-45 Short Free
46-55 Backstroke
56-70 Medley Relay
71-80 Breaststroke
81-90 Long Free
Each event may last about 20 min depending on how many swimmers are participating. So, a meet that starts at 8:00am should be over by 12:00pm. It is a guessing game, but that is an estimate.
