1.
Suit
Of course you can’t go to a swim meet
without your suit!
This should be one of the first things you throw into your bag so there isn’t a
chance you’ll forget it!
2.
Goggles
Goggles
are a very important item that all swimmers should have with them. If you pack
the same bag as you do for swim practice, you should already be set! It's a good idea to have a spare in-case yours are misplaced, break, or just giving you trouble!
3.
Swim Cap
Alike goggles, these can normally be found
in every swimmer’s equipment bag! Swim
Caps are typically used for both training and racing, helping you reduce
any drag in the pool.
4.
Towel(s)
Once you hop out of the pool, chances are
you are going to want to dry off. Depending on the swim meet, you may want to
bring along more than one towel,
especially once the day is over and you are ready to head home.
5.
Parka
Parkas are a great way to stay warm in-between
heats. Parkas have sleeves and hoods that allow you to stay fully covered and
warm, but mobile. Our RISE
Aquatics Team Parka offers a poly fleece liner to keep you warm, and a
water resistance outer shell to keep you dry!
6.
Team Meet Mat
Having a Team
Meet Mat is a MUST for breaks in between heats. They are ultra-portable,
comfortable, and perfect for sharing. The easy-to-clean waterproof backing is
such a great feature for swim meets!
7.
Drinks and Snacks
Swim meets usually take up quite a bit of
the day so it’s imperative to stay fueled up! For some great ideas what you can
pack with you check
out these great ideas!
8.
Dry Change of Clothes
Once the swim meet is done, you will be
headed home and you won’t want to be in your wet suit any longer. Use the wet
pocket in the RISE
Aquatics Pro Team Backpack for your wet suit, allowing your other items to remain dry.
9.
Sharpie and Highlighter for Heat Sheet
You should always throw in a couple pens,
sharpies, and/or highlighters in your bag for writing times on your heat sheet.
You can also highlight certain times for convenience.
10.
Toiletries
After getting out of the pool, your next step
is to be hoping into the shower to rinse off. Be sure to pack your shampoo,
body wash, and swim spray so you are prepared.
What other items do you bring to your swim meets?
