Here are a few tips to make sure you and your swimmers are prepared for this season’s swim meets…
Arrive 30 minutes before your warm up time to get settled and check in with the coaches.
Write your events on your hand with a sharpie. Include Event, Event #, Heat #, and Lane #.
What to bring for the Meet: (In addition to your team suit, cap & goggles!)
2 large towels: one to sit on and one to dry off with.
Pants/sweatshirt if it’s chilly to wear between events.
Healthy snacks such as Z Bars, granola gars, protein bars, fresh fruit, etc.
Water bottle or Gatorade.
Cards, notebook and pencils, iTouch, etc. to play between events.
What to bring for the Dinner Dance:
2 dry towels: one to dry off with after showering and one old one to step on in the locker room.
Toiletries for showering.
Large Ziploc bag for wet suit.
Nice outfit – dress, skirt, or dressy shorts for girls; nice shorts and collared shirt for boys.
General Info:
Try to rest or limit activity after practice so you are ready to swim fast!
Please stay in your suit on pool deck until the end of the meet. Your teammates need you to cheer them on!
It’s up to you if you want to stay for dinner and dancing. Most swimmers stay at least for dinner.
Have fun! Go Gators!
