I just signed up for my first OW swim. (Jim McDonnell 1-mile.) I'll be driving there alone. I noticed that "picture ID" required for sign-in. Where does one put there stuff when they are out swimming? (I searched the forums but couldn't find this question brought up anywhere.) I'm prepared to tie the rental car's key to my suit, but what about sandals? What about sweat-shirt or t-shirts (if it's cool prior)? I'm not sure if I'm over-thinking it...unsure how far the parking will be from the lake, for instance.
Advice?
Thanks to all.
After you sign in, you can return license to car (if not too far to walk). If I am very concerned, I duct tape key to my swimsuit.
Most events I am familiar with have a sort of place for swimmers to leave backpacks with towels and dry clothes, but it is not necessarily watched, or watched carefully. It's good if there is a swimmer number matching system as described. Otherwise, there is a certain amount of trust involved.
