Equipment
Swimmers will need to wear a team suit or all black suit for swim meets. Boys can wear speedos or jammers style shorts but they remain above the knee. All swimmers will require goggles and a swim suit for practices. Swim caps are recommended as well. Swim suits do not include shorts/undergarments etc.

Swim Meets
A suggestion of things to bring to a swim meet:
Towels- 2 or 3 can be helpful when they get wet
Lawn chairs- parents and swimmers alike will need a play to sit between races
Sleeping bag/swim mat/yoga mat- a place for the swimmers to relax between races
Cards/coloring books and crayons etc.-things to keep swimmers entertained between races
Food and Snacks- keeping swimmers hydrated and energized is a big part of the day
**a note on electronics** swimmers are welcome to bring their electronics on swim meet days but remember the pool decks are wet and unattended belongings are the responsibility of the swimmer/family. Changing areas camera free!
