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.
