Many races have one using your race number to store your stuff while you swim, which is very convenient. Good luck!&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: OW swims...where do you put your stuff?</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/267086?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sat, 01 May 2010 12:31:21 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:28f788d7-d1a6-4783-b723-a435e89aa3a1</guid><dc:creator>mjtyson</dc:creator><description>Thanks you guys...emailing the race director now.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: OW swims...where do you put your stuff?</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/267079?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sat, 01 May 2010 12:29:26 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:a0c03b53-dd61-4c1b-b418-476704183800</guid><dc:creator>ViveBene</dc:creator><description>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&amp;#39;s good if there is a swimmer number matching system as described. Otherwise, there is a certain amount of trust involved.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
