What to take to a Swim Meet
Source: USA Swimming
|
Most
important: Swim Suit, Team Cap--and goggles (if your
swimmer uses them).
Baby or talcum powder--To "dust" the inside
of swim cap. This helps preserve the cap and makes it
easier to put on.
Towels-Realize your
swimmer will be there awhile, so pack at least two.
Something to sit on.
Oftentimes the swimmer area may be located in a gym or
cafeteria. 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.
Sweat suits: bring
one. Each swimmer may want to bring two because they
can get wet and soggy.
Team T-shirts: Two or
three. Same reason as above.
Games: travel games,
coloring books, books, anything to pass the time.
Food: Each swimmer is
usually allowed to bring a small cooler. It is better
to bring snacks. They usually have snack bars at the
meet, but the lines are long and most of the time they
only sell junk food.
