I am wondering if anyone has some good ideas for prizes, for top swimmers in the club...I am looking for something other than T-shirts & trophies...everyone is very tired of those.
They must be under $20., at least most of them.
Is anyone buying some innovative products? Share your ideas...

The new thing I've seen is a pair of shorts. They can be anything form cotton with a Logo on the back for girls up to high end synthetics.

If you're getting a lot, customized water bottles are awesome. My friend bought some for a meet, and if you get enough, they're fairly cheap.

Wow, I would sign up for EVERY swim meet if there was the prospects of winning any of these awards, keep up the great suggestions!
My family shows rabbits, and it's always nice to win other prizes (cd wallets, drawstring bags, plates, coffee mugs, travel coffee/hot bevarage thermos', towels, etc...) instead of the ordinary everyday trophies and rosettes.

I agree with Aqua Feisty...I called Discovery Trekking and got a really good deal on the Wick-er Warmup Swim towels, and they went over really well...
www.discoverytrekking.com I also organize a small marathon and I'm getting the smaller ones for that.

Ditto about the wicking swim towel from Discovery Trekking. These towels are around $29. retail but they will discount to teams in volume, for anywhere from 10 to $20. depending on the size of the towel...and I keep reading more gear reviews on these towels from newspapers and magazines. Just read one in Sailing Magazine about how good they are because they dry out so fast, and the Silver in the fabric is really the most high tech, but simple, way to kill bacteria. Never again will I smell a damp cotton or chamois towel...Gross! Nice people, fantastic product.
