I don't swim in a lot of meets. I always get to a swim meet, look around at what other people brought, and think, "Ooh, that's a good idea. I wish I had brought one of those."
I'm trying to construct a "swim meet checklist" that I can keep in my swim bag. What do YOU think is essential to take to a swim meet?
Here's what I have so far:
Swimsuit(s)
T-shirt
Shorts
Long-sleeved pullover
Long sweatpants
Sandals or other deck shoes
Swimmer's chamois
Towel(s)
Goggles (at least 1 spare pair)
Swim cap(s)
Legal drugs (ibuprofen, etc.)
Seat cushion
Small hair dryer (in winter), with long extension cord
Padlock
Paper & pen or pencil
Colored highlighter pens (invaluable for highlighting names in big heat sheets)
USMS card (don't leave home without it!)
Water bottle
Food (specifics vary depending on the time of day and length of meet)
