Swim Meet 101
What to Bring to a SWIM MEET
Swim meets start early or run late and can last for a while, so it is smart to have everything ready in advance. You not only need your swim essentials but you need food and some things to keep you busy while you are waiting for an event. Most meets will have concessions so you may want to bring money as well.
Items needed for a swim meet:
Swim Gear
- Team Suit or solid black swim suit
- Goggles: It's a good idea to have two pair just in case!
