What's in your swimbag - deckbag?

The other one, I don't even leave stuff in the locker while I'm there, as kids are known to come in and cut the locks. We are very lucky. No one under 16 is allowed in the women's locker room. And it is enforced! There always seems to be an employee in there. Not for security, but just in there changing, going to the bathroom, cleaning, picking up towels and taking them to the wash, etc. If a woman with children under the age of 16 or girls younger than 16 try to use the locker room she is asked to use the children's locker room. I've never had anything taken. I stopped by the Y on my way out of town one Friday afternoon to pick up goggles, cap, etc. Was in a hurry and ran into an old friend... the result was leaving my lock hanging on the top of the locker door for TWO weeks while I was on vacation. Nothing was taken, in fact nothing had even been moved around in my locker! We are truely lucky to have honest members.

Question---- To carry my fins and kick board I use a mesh bag and after forgetting it a couple of times at home I have decided to just keep it in my car. I've been told by some other swimmers at my pool that this could damage my fins, being exposed to the temperature changes and what not. I don't want to ruin brand new fins...... I always leave my fins in the car and never had any problem.

In my bag, I have: 2 swim caps (one team and one just plain blue speedo) 2 pairs of goggles 1 pair of earplugs for the cold pool 2 suits 1 towel 1 pair of flip-flops 1 watch 1 bottle of water 1 notebook to record times, workouts, etc Oh, I just realized this thread is from 2007. Oops.

I'd probably leave stuff there overnight if I was ever so inclined. I swam in a pool that doesn't allow leaving locker locked overnight unless you have rented the locker ($400ish annually for renting a very small cubic locker). I didn't know this, and once left my stuffs overnight there. The next day found the staff broke my heavy Masterlock (wonder what kind of tools they used) and took my stuffs away, as with some other people's, too.

I accidentally left my lock on a locker at the aforementioned gym for upwards of 3 or 4 days. I had no idea where it was until I was walking out of the pool and happened to look right at it. They are very nice at the gym (Spa and Fitness Center), and the lockers range from just big enough to fit some keys, sunglasses, wallet, etc. to big enough to hang a full suit and hold a giant dufflebag.

Hyuck, hyuck. I could do with just 1 pair of goggles, a suit, a cap, and a towel, but I would lose everything else if I didn't keep it in the bag.

Oh well. Here it goes ..1 piece black Nike swim suit , black filpflops in a plastic bag..yes to keep the gross stuff away from the rest of the bag. dark Barracuda standard swim goggles.black Speedo bubble cap,swim band, hair brush, big tube of Eucerin dry skin cream, set of keys, mag light, extra quarters a 20 dollar bill wrapped up in plastic wrap tucked away, and I am not commenting on the rest.. I will offer the US Navys response.. Never confirm or deny ..the presence of .... Now SWIM!

My workout loadout is: One pair Crocs Two suits (Speedo Endurance) Two caps Four goggles (2x mirror, 1x blue, 1x clear) in a protective bag Small towel Large towel Body wash Aveda Hair Detoxifying Shampoo Aveda Sap Moss Conditioner Aerosol deodorant Lubriderm body lotion Biofreeze gel Lip balm (SPF15 or above) Sunscreen for faces (SPF15 or above) Continuous stream spray-on sunscreen (SPF30 or above) That is usually what I carry. Remember that I live in a hot, sunny climate so my load-out may be overkill for those in northern latitudes. The pool I swim at (Mona Plummer Aquatics Center, Arizona State University) has boards and pull bouys. I never use kickboards and barely use bouys either. No other equipment for me, kinda old-school in that regard.
