Answer

The answer is: Swimmers must be sure to completely follow all of the team guidelines.

Explanation
Option 1: It is important to wear plenty of sunscreen at an outdoor swim meet.

This sentence does not contain an infinitive, so there is no split infinitive present.

Option 2: The coach tells the swimmers how to improve their performance.

The infinitive "to improve" is not split by any other word, so this sentence does not contain a split infinitive.

Option 3: Parents drive to the local swim club so they can watch the competition.

This sentence does not contain an infinitive, so there is no split infinitive present.

Option 4: Swimmers must be sure to completely follow all of the team guidelines.

The infinitive "to follow" is split by the adverb "completely," making this a split infinitive.
