Swim Meet 101
A Few Extra Tips
Lingo:
"Events" are the different strokes/age divisions/gender divisions (ex. Girls 8 and Under 25 Backstroke)
"Heats" are the individual races within each event.
"Lane" is the actual lane (or row) of the pool in which your swimmer will be swimming.
**Mailboxes refer to the swimmer folders in the pool clubhouse. Check after meets for Personal Best ribbons and other important notices :-)
Tips:
**swimoutlet.com (bungee cords, goggle, suits, caps... great prices and free shipping over $49. Sometimes it's even lower).
**Consider swapping out the elastic on your swimmer's goggles for a more durable (and less painful) bungee cord.
**TOWEL PANTS!!! Through Sport Spot or try ETSY for custom pants.
**Consider one of those little 10X10 popup tents. They are super easy to setup and tear down and provide some shade!! We like to hang a bedsheet from ours 🙂
**Don’t forget to keep your swimmer hydrated! They do lose water IN THE WATER!!
**SHARPIES!!
**DID WE MENTION SHARPIES???Â
