How to Pack for a Swim Meet
​
The night before a big meet, many swimmers find themselves standing over their bags and scratching their heads. The fear of forgetting something essential can be almost as nerve-racking as the actual races.
​
Push those 'what-if’s' out of your head, relax, and follow this guide. Then, on the day of your swim meet, you’ll wake up feeling confident that you have everything you need.
Hot Tip: When to Pack ~ Pack the night before the meet. As you put items in your bag, visualise the entire day of competition: From the moment you plan to wake up, to the moment you walk back through your front door.
Make a list of things you can’t pack until morning (food or clothes in the wash), make a list. Set that on top of your swim bag before you go to bed.
