2004 Worlds - Foreign Swimming Phrases

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. Karla
