Parents please note that the following items are necessary when your swimmer is going to a gala with Ennis Swimming Club.
  • Togs ( 2 pairs, at least)
  • Goggles – having fixed & tested them at training beforehand
  • Ennis Club Hat (hats, t-shirts, togs etc. from Tom Barrett)
  • Ennis Club t-shirt + 2 other spare t-shirts, all for around the poolside, between swims
  • Footwear – flipflops, poolshoes or runners – absolutely no bare feet allowed around the pool
  • Packed Lunch – some suggestions of high energy foods:- sandwiches, rolls, rice cakes, small cereal boxes, cereal bars, bananas. Drinks – fruit drinks or water, not fizzy drinks. Fun size snacks – not heavy bars of chocolate or crisps.
  • Water Bottle : It is very important to stay warm & hydrated while at a gala, this will help your performance.
The Ennis hat & T-shirt are important, they are for identification purposes.

The suggested foods are to keep your energy levels high all day – galas are very tiring.

Returning from some galas, a stop for chips is permitted – please check beforehand with your coach if pocket money is needed – otherwise leave your money & valuables at home.
