Getting ready to host a meet again this year and we were talking about meet awards, team awards, etc.
The question is - what do people want?
In the past 4 years we have cards (blue, red, and white) premade that we paste stickers on (event with times, name, place ,etc).
Recently for team awards- we gave pizza coupons to the teams with the MOST spirited people.
FYI - we are a small meet 30-70 people most are local swimmers.
We stopped giving t-shirts - cause the price of t-shirts was making the meet too expensive...(lastyear our pre-meet entry was $7.50 - I think).
Obviously cost is an issue.
But in general - do USMS swimmers keep medals and trophies?

O*H*I*O Masters uses the coupons. One dollar for 1st place, .50 for 2nd and .25 for 3rd. You can use these as cash for your next entry fee or to purchase all kinds of swim wear sold at the meet.
