My son (AC) had a meet this weekend and we broke the "golden rule" of only taking one pair of goggles. Well, actually, I threw a pair of mine in there just in case. Fortunately, we made it through the meet with no goggle mishaps and without losing them.
But, we did succeed in losing them somewhere between the meet and home (or maybe they are in car).
Just last week, we realized that AC's snorkel, pull buoy and streamline kick board were missing...as well as his backup pair of goggles.
At any rate, looks like I'm heading over to SwimOutlet to get replacement goggles (the Jr. Vanquisher's are always on sale). But he may have to wait for the other equipment.
Wonder what the chances are of him paying me back when he's old enough to work?
MORAL of the story: Even in the midst of the chaos of a swim meet, make sure you have EVERYTHING before you leave. And...if you take equipment to the pool, keep it all together versus pulling it all out and leaving it on the bench until practice is over. That way, (A) you won't leave anything behind, and (B) hopefully nobody will walk off with your stuff!
