Goodie Bags & Awards

So I've managed to get myself made meet director for a USAS meet. In trying to make this interesting for the kids, I'd love ideas from forumites who swam age group or who have kids swimming these days -- What cool stuff should we get for the goodie bags? What unique awards should we have for ... Heat winners ... e.g., I remember going to a "top banana" meet in NC growing up where we got a banana for heat winner High points ... e.g., the coolest high point award I got was a nice swim bag from the Rowdy Gaines Masters meet a couple of years ago I'd love feasible ideas (e.g., we're on a budget and/or we'll beg local businesses for donations) that will ideally pump the kids up and make them want to come back year after year.

  • What unique awards should we have for ... I still remember, when I was a kid, swimming in a meet at SMU and Bob Lilly (Dallas Cowboys probowl lineman) gave out medals at the awards ceremony (this was a long time ago when they still had awards ceremonies). Maybe you could get donations from other athletes'/teams' publicity departments.
