Invitational Meet Info
Invitational meets can be lengthy - till noon or 1:00, and sometimes even longer. The unprepared parent may go into shock!
Parents usually bring lawn chairs and often bring coolers full of drinks, snack or lunch. Parents will sometimes bring books to read, needlepoint or other projects to work on between their swimmers events. The swimmers also bring things to do; a deck of cards, something to read; a board game etc. Don’t forget the sunscreen or sunblock. Extra towels are a good idea too.
Invitational meets charge admission (except to wimmers) and charge for heat sheets. If you volunteer to work at a meet (assist with timing, etc.) you sometimes get in free.
