| If your kid made it to the finals, what do you in between the sessions if you only have 2 hours to spare? |

Depends what meet. If at UMD, we'd just lounged around at the student union. Nice comfy spaces to chill. |

+1, my kid also liked going to the dining hall right near Rooney to grab some pasta or chicken. I think it’s called Yahentamisi. |

Kid will shower and change and we usually go out and eat. Pretty common if your kid is a 12&U since they are in the afternoon session for most meets.
It makes for a very long day so definitely go out and grab some food and reset before finals. |

| Food definitely. Confession: 12U kid usually rinses off, dries off, and keeps suit on for those 2 hours. A real tech suit (or a longer timeframe) would be a different story |

| We sometimes go over to the movie theater with the big recliner seats in Beltsville (?) to watch a movie and chill. |
