When it comes to swim meets, there are some key things to remember:
1.) Your body will need lots of energy for your races - carbo load the night before (i.e., enjoy a big bowl of pasta)
2.) Visualize your race and then make your vision reality
3.) Pump yourself up with music!
4.) Remain hydrated - bring a water bottle to the meet
5.) Shivering wastes energy - bundle up between races!
6.) Warm up behind the block immediately before your race by jumping up and down and shaking out your muscles
7.) Practice good sportsmanship - congratulate your competitors
8.) Cheer for your teammates
9.) Bring a healthy snack - no junk food!
10.) Have fun!
