Where: 21W730 Butterfield Rd, Lombard, IL 60148

When: Saturday, June 8th

Time: Swimmers need to be in the water for warm ups at 7:00 am

Meet start: 8:00 am

Swim Meet Packing List:

• Two competition suits
• Two caps
• Two pairs of goggles
• Three or four towels
• Snacks
• Water bottle

Also Consider Bringing:

Money: Meet programs usually cost a couple of bucks. And you may want a snack bar treat, especially if the meet is running slowly.

Lunch: Pack your own sandwich, fresh fruit, nuts, energy bars, and water. Don’t count on the snack bar to have many — if any — healthy options.

A chair: Sometimes a team area will be stationed on wet grass or hard concrete. In order to stay comfortable, think about bringing a chair along.

Sunscreen: If the meet is outdoors, you may be sitting outside in the sun for hours. Remember: even if it is overcast, you can still get burnt.

Tent: You don’t want to get caught out in winter rains or summer sun. Both can drain you of energy.

Warm clothes: Bring a swim parka, comfortable pants, sweatshirt, socks, and shoes. Entertainment: Be prepared to sit around for a couple of hours. Staying awake and alert will help you swim faster, so bring whatever keeps you happily entertained: a friend or two, a deck of cards, something to read, pens and paper for coloring, your iPod, board games, or all of the above.

A relaxed, positive attitude: This least tangible item is probably the most important thing you can bring to a meet!

Getting the Hang of It After a couple of swim meets, you’ll know exactly what you need to pack. Make sure you pack in plenty of time so that if you remember something later, you still have time to throw it in your bag. Either way, this list will help you get started on packing your bag and easing your nerves before your big meet.
