What to Bring

Consider using a mesh bag to hold all the swimming gear.

  • Team swim suit or comparable red/blk one piece suit.
  • Swim cap: Two caps are a good idea in case one rips.
  • Goggles: Suggest bringing two pairs in case one pair breaks or gets lost.
  • Team T-Shirt (recommend writing name inside shirt to easily identify)
  • Towels: Two towels are recommended - one to sit on and one to wrap up in
  • Sun protection: Please bring and use sunscreen! Sunglasses and hats keep the sun off your face. Tents are a nice way to get out of the sun in between events.
  • Bug Spray:  We are often located under trees or on grassy surfaces, the bugs always find us.
  • Sweatshirt and sweatpants for chilly weather
  • Drinks: Have plenty of water on hand for your swimmer to stay hydrated.
  • Snacks: Bring some $$ as there are concessions at most meets, but it doesn't hurt to have your own supply of fruit, granola bars, veggies or other snacks.
  • Entertainment: Meets can take awhile! Better to be prepared, especially if you have younger swimmers. Playing cards, small games, books, toys, etc. can help swimmers pass the time with friends.  Remind swimmers to stay in the team area and enjoy the company of their friends.
