When athletes coordinate workouts, competition schedules, travel, or team plans through group chats, common texting abbreviations can make communication quicker and easier.

Terms such as FYI, BTW, ASAP, IMO, and IDK are frequently used in casual messages, especially when teammates are discussing heat times, meeting points, or last-minute updates.

For example, a teammate might say, “FYI, our heat starts at 9,” or “BTW, are we meeting before the event?” Which abbreviations do you find most useful in your own training or competition chats?
