Hi Swim Families!  Here is a list of items you may wish to bring to a swim meet. 

• Swim suit, swim cap, goggles (bring extra of each)
• Towels - at least two.  Shammies are also a great idea to save on wet towels
• Something to sit on during downtime - Sleeping bag, blankets, lawn chairs
• Warm ups/Robe/Sweats for in between events. It is super important for your swimmer to stay warm!
• Shoes!!  Crocs, tennis shoes, etc.  Flip flops are ok but lots of heat leaves your body thru your feet.
• Nutritious food and drinks.  Light, easy digestible food is great.  Avoid greasy, sugary foods
  • Cheese/crackers    String cheese
  • Fruit and/or Vegetables
  • Granola bars
  • Hard boiled eggs
  • PB sandwiches
  • Trail mix
  • Chocolate milk
  • Sport drinks (I like them mixed 50/50 with water)
  • Yogurt, applesauce, pudding
• Games, cards, something to do (of course would love to see things that require interaction between swimmers and not just staring at a screen)
• Plastic bag for wet stuff after meet and dry clothes
• Helpful things for parents to have:
  • cash for concessions and heat sheets
  • Highlighter for marking events in heat sheet
  • Black sharpie for marking events on swimmers arm/leg
