WHAT TO BRING TO A SWIM MEET
1. Most important: Swim Suit and Duke City Aquatics Cap--and goggles (if your swimmer uses them).
2. Baby or talcum powder--To "dust" the inside of swim cap. This helps preserve the cap and makes it easier to put on.
3. Towels-Realize your swimmer will be there awhile, so pack at least two.
4. Something to sit on. 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.
5. Sweat suits: bring one. Each swimmer may want to bring two because they can get wet and soggy.
6. T-shirts: Two or three. Same reason as above.
7. Games: travel games, coloring books, books, anything to pass the time.
8. 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. Suggestions for items to bring:
Drinks: Hi-C, Fruit juice, Gatorade
Snacks: Granola bars, Fun fruits, yogurt, cereal, jello cubes, sandwiches Once you have attended one or two meets this will all become very routine. Please do not hesitate to ask any other Duke City Aquatics parent for help or information!
These meets are a lot of fun for the swimmers! He/she gets to visit with his/her friends, play games, and meet kids from other teams. He/she also gets to "race" and see how much he/she has improved from all the hard work he/she has put in at practice.
