https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/general/2825/swim-meet-ideasIt is nearing the time for our team to begin planning their annual meet. I&#39;m looking for ideas about how to attract teams from other LMSC&#39;s, how to keep costs down, how to get goodie bag items and any other ideas. What do some of you do to make your meetsen-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/21691?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 04 Jan 2005 08:16:10 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:345828bb-98f5-4902-b715-7c047662dc36RnovitskeOur team&#39;s meet (this month by the way) has a 3-person fun relay where unattached swimmers and swimmers from different clubs can form a relay &amp; enter. We give theme prizes for the winners of that relay. We also give out souvenirs for new swimmers. Both prizes &amp; souvenirs are &quot;themed&quot; to our meet; we can get very inexpensive items from Oriental Trading, www.orientaltrading.com. (Shark pens, sandal kitchen refrigerator magnets, fish tape measures.)<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/21636?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 28 Dec 2004 12:03:53 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:ab5b99da-387e-41aa-8db0-0c5b065f16e3Former MemberGoodie bag items: small bottles of powerade, powerbars or powergel, bananas, granola bars. The first 50 swimmers to sign up get a free t-shirt or some kind of item. To save $, have your uss team kids do timing and easy duties... parents also... sort of a fund raiser for the uss team as well as helping with the meet. just some thoughts that popped up into my head... hope they were some help.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
