[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am basically catatonic the rest of the day after these super hot Sat morning swim meets. On Tuesdays I can barely get out of bed. How are other parents not only surviving this heat but it seems like you really enjoy the meets?! I can’t believe some parents do this for like 15 years if you have multiple kids. Are there tricks to surviving the heat or maybe I’m just a wuss. [/quote] Stay hydrated, drink lots of water, wear a hat, wear sunscreen, and stay in the shade. Our team provides all timers free water and we typically go through 48-64 bottles of waters for the timers, so 2-3 bottles per timer. I generally volunteer at every meet and stay on my feet the whole time. I would go insane sitting around for 3-4 hours :). I then generally go home and mow the lawn because I'm already a sweaty mess. Just embrace being sweaty :)[/quote]
