What to Expect at Meet

I will be attending a regional SCY meet this weekend for the first time. Can someone give me an idea of what to expect -- besides hundreds of swimmers vying for parking spaces, warm-up lanes and deck space? Specifically, what do most swimmers DO between races? Is there usually a place to leave your stuff or must you lug it around all weekend? Should I bring a blanket, chair, pillow etc.? Do teams hang out together? How early should I arrive before my first event? (Check in is one hour prior but do I need to be there much before that?) You get the idea. I just need someone to give me the lay of the land for a big meet.

    Sometimes at really big meets there are vendors and you can shop. If you are going to be there a long time be a kid at heart and bring a Gamebody, portable CD player or something small that you can pack away to amuse yourself. This especially works if you are not on a team and/or are inclined to be antisocial.;)
