What should I bring to a swim meet for me and my swimmer?

LABEL EVERYTHING WITH YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION!

• Most Important:
  • Team Approved Swim Suit
  • Extra Swim Cap
  • Extra Goggles
  • Backpack for swimmers to hold everything they'll need for the session.
  • Towels: at least two per day per swimmer. 
  • Warm clothes: Swimmers get cold in between swims and sessions - even in a warm pool area!
• Folding Chairs: Check in advance to see what spectator seating is available.
• Fun things to do in between swims - Books, cards, and games help to keep kids occupied while they are waiting to swim. Keep in mind that this is a moist humid area.
• Sharpie & Pens:
  • Bring a Sharpie pen to write your swimmers event/heat & lane info on their arm.
  • Also bring a highlighter and pen if to mark up your heat sheet.
• Small amount of cash for heat sheets, snacks, or other items.

Food

Each family is usually allowed to bring a small cooler.

Bring healthy snacks & drinks such as fruit juice, Gatorade, granola bars, yogurt, cereal, sandwiches, cheese, nuts, fruit, etc.

Extra fluids & snacks - Check with Coach to see what they suggest.

Outside Meets

For outside meets, consider the following:

• Folding Chairs and/or something to sit on. Example: sleeping bag, old blanket, or anything that will be comfortable to sit on. The swimmers will be spending a lot of time on it and sometimes it’s more comfortable to lay down instead of sitting. 
• Shade or shelter
• Cooler
• Sunscreen, hats, sunglasses.
• Blankets - Again, it is cold in the mornings and in the early evenings, even in the summer.
