[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids love watermelon at swim meets (and so do their friends, so I pack extra). I make muffins at home and bring them. We have a batch of zucchini chocolate chip in the freezer and I'll throw a couple into the bag before we leave and it's thawed out by the meet. Sometimes they get junk from the snack bar. [/quote]

None of this is true. No swim team kid is eating mom’s janky defrosted zucchini muffins and hot watermelon [/quote]
Heard of ice packs? We pack watermelon all the time for the pool. [/quote]

Watermelon, mango, cantaloup, honeydew are all great swim snacks because they provide hydration and quick and easily digestible carbs. I bring a huge container of cubed watermelon and a bag of pretzels for the team to share at outdoor long course meets. I also bring goldfish, mandarin oranges, almond butter sandwiches, and whole wheat crackers. You want to be more carb heavy than you might think. Chocolate milk for after the meet. Having experienced the crash that follows candy/donuts/muffins, my kid avoids them like the plague during a meet. For summer rec meets, sure, plow into those donuts![/quote]
