https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/general/12480/what-should-i-bring-to-a-meetI&#39;m competing in my first swim meet in 30+ years. I have three events spaced evenly through the day. (50 fly, 100 free &amp; 500 free in that order). I&#39;m trying to figure out what to bring tomorrow other than a towel, suit and goggles. It should be hot miden-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/198713?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 09 Jun 2016 07:24:44 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:80b5eb89-2d09-4189-a28c-f1183e7c3debsmiley92407Everything mentioned above, adding a second folding chair, but a recliner, and something that will provide shade such as a beach umbrella or EZ up. Keep your drinks in a small ice chest.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/198697?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 08 Jun 2016 12:56:30 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:1423b3b6-2e12-471d-8a9b-eb34d894a5ffFlyChoseMeWas it the Carlsbad meet on June 5th?

One of those folding camp chairs is a must have for swim meets as far as I&#39;m concerned. I&#39;d err on the side of bringing more warm clothes than you think you&#39;ll need.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/198633?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 06 Jun 2016 11:39:12 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:52881969-3aa1-4237-bdd4-0a9b4092b92corca1946A chair , if no stands are around. a sports drink or 2 , some food that will digest well that you have tried before. something to read if you are not a talker with others,sun screen if needed,a hat,a light jacket , a willingness to have fun. Good luck!<div style="clear:both;"></div>
