What to take to a Swim Meet

Source:  USA Swimming

Most important: Swim Suit, Team Cap--and goggles (if your swimmer uses them). 

 

Baby or talcum powder--To "dust" the inside of swim cap. This helps preserve the cap and makes it easier to put on. 

Towels-Realize your swimmer will be there awhile, so pack at least two.

Something to sit on. Oftentimes the swimmer area may be located in a gym or cafeteria. Example: sleeping bag, old blanket, or anything that will be comfortable to sit on. The swimmers will be spending a lot of time on it. 

Sweat suits: bring one. Each swimmer may want to bring two because they can get wet and soggy.

Team T-shirts: Two or three. Same reason as above. 

Games: travel games, coloring books, books, anything to pass the time.

Food: Each swimmer is usually allowed to bring a small cooler. It is better to bring snacks. They usually have snack bars at the meet, but the lines are long and most of the time they only sell junk food.
