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.

There is an open water swim here in Florida that gives out little rubber duckies for the awards. If you could get something like that, especially if it could be hung or attached to their swim bags, that might be a hit...
