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.
