Need help with Italian translation--
For all the folks out there headed to Riccione, could anyone share some catch phrases for us in Italian? You know...butterfly, breastroke, freestyle, backstroke, IM. "Take Your Mark", "Warm- Up area", "check-in" and the all important "heat" & "lane"
Did I miss any? I know I did, but I figure this will get me checked in, to my heat and lane and swimming the correct event when the gun goes off.

Hi Karla!
I'm originally from Berkeley CA, but have been living in Florence Italy for a long time, and swim on a masters team here... I just saw your post so here's some info for you:
butterfly = farfalla
breaststroke = rana (frog)
freestyle = stile libero
backstroke = dorso
IM = misti
take your mark = A POSTO (they always YELL!)
warm up = riscaldamento
heat = batteria
lane = corsia
Hope I've been of some help!!!
