• Chair for under the tent
• Entertainment: Be prepared to sit around for several hours. Staying awake and alert will help you swim faster, so bring whatever keeps you happily entertained: something to read, pens and paper for coloring, your iPod, board games, or all of the above. NOTE: items will get wet! Not tent parents responsibility to keep track of these items.

Parent Pack List:

• Sharpie (to write your child's name, event #, heat #, position on his/her back shoulder before the meet if you didn't do it the night before). DO NOT put sunscreen on before body marking, or the body marking will smear all over the place.
• Money - The hosting team runs most swim meet concessions. Any profits go to support their team
• Snacks/Lunch
• Sunglasses and/or a hat
• A portable chair
• More sunscreen
• Entertainment
• Camera
• Good cheering voice. Swimmers can hear in the water. The louder the crowd, the more exciting their swim!
