What do I bring to a Swim Meet?

LABEL EVERYTHING.  It can get really crowded and items can get misplaced pretty easily.  Here's a good checklist: 

• Swim Suit (best place to label it is inside on the lining of the suit with a sharpie)

• Swim Cap

• Goggles (it's always good to have a spare pair - they can get lost or broken easily) 

• Sunscreen

• Thin dark sharpy (to write swimmers events on their hands so they don't miss their races)

• 2 - 3 Towels

• Chair or blanket to sit on

• Healthy snacks, water or sports drinks.  Each team will have a concession stand so this is optional.

• Cash or change for the concessions

Warm-ups:  Warm-ups are a necessary part of the meet.  It gives the coaches a chance to see everyone in the water before their events and also protects the swimmer from injury by "warming up" the muscles.  Everyone knows you don't exercise without warming up first.  Please do not take warm ups lightly and make your best effort to get there at least 15 minutes before our warm-up time.
