What do I need to wear?
1. A Black Swim Suit
2. A SHARKS Swim Cap (boys optional)
3. Goggles
What else should I bring?
1. An old sleeping bag or blanket to put on the floor/bleacher to reserve an area and for kids to sit on
2. Warm clothes (for kids): Sweatshirts, and PJ pants are great for keeping swimmers warm between events.
3. A folding chair (AWAY MEETS ONLY): otherwise you will be sitting on the floor with the kids
4. A sharpie: you will want to write your swimmer's event #, heat, and lane
5. Food/drinks: Kids get hungry! bring some healthy snacks
6. "Boredom Battlers" Kids (and parents) get bored waiting for events. it is a good idea to bring a deck of cards, book, or other activity.
What about Warm-Ups?
You should plan on arriving at least 15 min. before warm-ups begin. This way you have time to get everything situated
Warm-ups are MANDATORY because they are VERY important to a successful meet. Warm-ups are a chance for us wake our muscles up and stretch them out before we race
