Ok, the ONLY thing about the meet that drove me crazy was that I was FREEZING the whole time! I had three towels all of which got soaking wet, (I'm going to get another sammy now for meets), and I couldn't get my muscles to warm up for the life of me...
I didn't want to put my clothes on and keep taking them on and off cause it would be a total pain, but I was really cold.. I mean I had goosebumps, and my skin had that purpleish hue to it...
I saw one woman with one of those hoodie warm-ups on, and another with a regular bathrobe on, many people were jumping around trying to get warm.. The showers at the high school (where the meet was), were barely warm!
So what does everyone do at meets to keep warm in between events? those parka things are pretty expensive.. are they worth the investment? to they get soaking wet too?

The last meet I went to was indoors but they had all the doors open. It was cold when you were wet. I usually have my shammy and my towel on deck with me. I dry off with my shammy, pull on my sweat pants and wrap my towel around me. That seems to keep me pretty warm. Sweatshirts are good too. Have an extra pair of sweats. One that you can get wet (wear it on the deck) and one that you can put on afterwards.
