How to perform well in a championship meet
Before the meet.
Pack all your equipment together the night before you leave. Then in the morning, you can just grab your stuff and go.
If you are going to wear a practice suit for warm-ups, make sure you bring your racing suit. Remember to bring extra goggles, an extra cap, an extra suit, a water bottle, entertainment (like ipods, especially for long meets) and food.
