Swim Meet 101

Each swimmer should wear his/her Gators suit and team t-shirt to a meet.
It is recommended that each swimmer brings at least two towels. He/she will need goggles and a cap. Many swimmers use a swim bag to keep items.
Swimmers may pack snacks (preferably healthy snacks). Swimmers should definitely have water!!! At in-door meets, eating on the pool deck is often prohibited.
Swimmers may bring a game to play with friends between events.
Warm-ups begin 30 minutes before the start-time of the meet.
Please plan to arrive early so your child is not rushed to be ready to warm-up.
Please write your child's last name on the back of his/her shoulder with a black sharpie ahead of time. Bringing a sharpie along to the meet is a good idea.
If you are comfortable after viewing the heat sheet, write your child's event numbers and event names on his/her hand.
