Seeding options

  • Use: Athlete Rotation in Heats: Circle seeding: the fastest seed times are spread alternately over the last heats instead of all landing in the final heat.
  • Use: 2-Heat Rotation for Distance Events: In preliminaries of 400 m or longer, the rotation uses only the last 2 heats. Each distance event shows a DISTANCE badge to adjust it individually; Standardize all resets those adjustments.
  • Use: Fastest Heats First in the 800 and 1500 m: The fastest heat becomes Heat 1 and swims before the slower ones. Heat composition and lanes stay the same.
  • Use: Fill heats with other classes…: Combines swimmers from different age groups or classes in the same heat to fill empty lanes.

Entry-time order

Section titled “Entry-time order”

When seeding by entry time, swimmers fall into three blocks: no-time entries (NT) first, then times swum in a different pool, then times from the meet’s pool. The blocks are never mixed — 25 m and 50 m times are not compared.
