[quote=Anonymous]This is all great advice. Meet Mobile will give you the heat and lane information for your kid. Before the meet pack LOTS of snacks in the bag, a book, cards, etc. I have had my swimmer run out of food and find me in the stands PANICKED and hungry. We bought out a vending machine - don't be me. Our club has a no electronics policy so the kids end up making up games and having a blast on deck. Look at the timeline and tell your kid good times to run to the bathroom, snack, etc. Remind your kid that they have to pay attention to their events - coaches can not search for swimmers - so get them used to looking at their arm for their event number and heat. When you do drop off designate the place to meet after their last event - out front, by the stairs, in the lobby, etc. and then wait for them there. I tend to walk in between my kid's events and move around as much as possible. Four hours is a LONG time to sit around. For the televised meets you sometimes getting better viewing on the screen than you do in the venue.[/quote]
