What to Bring to a Swim Meet:
  • Cap
     
  • Goggles, at least two pair per swimmer
     
  • Competition swim suit and perhaps a training suit
     
  • Enough changes of clothing to be warm and dry during the whole meet.  (One set of dry clothes in the vehicle to return home in.)
     
  • Sleeping bag or heavy blanket if swimmers are allowed or must go outdoors between events
     
  • Pair of old running shoes or deck shoes.  This is essential if swimmers must stay outdoors between events
     
  • Towels - these are best passed out, one before the meet, one at lunch and one for showering at the end of the day
     
  • A small tent - as some swim meets are outside and the weather does not always cooperate!
     
  • Parents should be prepared for the possibility that all articles entering the pool area will come home soaked
     
  • Traveling games, books, and cards to entertain swimmers during meets
     
  • A nutritious lunch.  Most swimmers feel more comfortable eating a number of smaller nutritious snacks during the day rather than one larger meal at lunchtime.  Pack lots of fruit, fruit juices and low-fat carbohydrates.  Foods to avoid include pop, chips, candy and chocolate bars.  As well, your swimmer should also have plenty of plain water during meets and practices.
