Where can I found a dictionary??? what's FL, RI?

well i know fl is fly, and i believe that ri is the rest. but anyone correct me if im wrong.

RI = Rest interval is what we would say or 'Rest in between. ie that's your recovery after each repeat
FL = Fly; BK = Back; BR = Breast; FR = Free
Each coach has their own abbreviations and shorthand.

Looks like a pretty cool set, how fast should the 100's I.M. be?

IM = individual medley = FL/BK/BR/FR
