Meet Tips

Pack the night before. Couple of towels, goggles, cap, sunscreen, sleeping bag/blanket and books and/or entertainment
Wear suit to meet
In sharpie on forearm write: EVENT-HEAT-LANE- for each of your child’s races (this can also be done at the meet with the help of a coach/jr. coach)
- example: “25-2-4” this would represent that my swimmer was in event 25 of the second heat for that event and swimming in lane 4
Dress for daily weather progression- may want a hat v. Bring snacks and fluids or be prepared to buy concessions (have cash just in case)
Get to the pool in time to warm up. Warm up is optional for 6U however arrive 30 min before meet or you may be replaced on a relay
