A Few Tips...

Our first meet is behind us, and what a great experience it was!  As we were cleaning things up last week, we came across a few items that were left behind.  Please make sure you label everything you bring with you to meets, so we will know in the future if we need to bring it home with us or not.  We also had a few people asking about ideas for good snacks during swim meets.  Here are a few helpful sites we found:

One last thing: be sure to manage your valuables, we'll have a lot of people walking around!
