Pool And Open Water Swimming Psych Sheets
Courtesy of WOWSA, Huntington Beach, California. A psych sheet is a published list of the athletes scheduled, entered or qualified to participate in a swimming event.
In the open water swimming world, the psych sheet generally lists the athletes’ names, ages, team, hometown and/or country by event (e.g., 5 km, 10 km, 25 km, 5 km team pursuit).
Whereas in the pool swimming world, the psych sheet also includes the swimmer’s entered or best time in a particular event (e.g., 50m, 100m, 200m freestyle).
