Packing for Swim Meet


Swimmer Pack List:

  • Dolphins Swimsuit
  • Dolphins Swim-cap
  • At least one pair of goggles (2 pair suggested in case one breaks)
  • At least 1 towel for warm-up and meet
  • A towel to lay on the ground to sit on
  • Sunscreen
  • Clothes/Cover-up to wear between events if preferred
  • Healthy Snacks (be aware if anyone in your age group has an allergy)
  • Water bottles
  • Chair for under the tent
  • Entertainment: Be prepared to sit around for a few hours. Staying awake and alert will help you swim faster, so bring whatever keeps you happily entertained: something to read, pens and paper for coloring, your iPod, board games, or all of the above.
  • NOTE: items will get wet! It's not the tent parents (shepherds) responsibility to keep track of these items.

Parent Pack List:

  • Sharpie (to mark your child's name, event #, heat #, lane and position if you didn't do so the night before). DO NOT put sunscreen on before body marking, or the body marking will smear all over the place.
  • Money - The hosting team runs most swim meet concessions. Any profits go to support their team
  • Snacks/Lunch
  • Sunglasses and/or a hat
  • A portable chair
  • More sunscreen
  • Entertainment
  • Camera
  • Good cheering voice. Swimmers can hear in the water. The louder the crowd, the more exciting their swim!
