Each swim meet we provide a food table for the swim team. We ask that you sign up for items, but that you follow in the request so that food will be convenient and meet the needs of the athletes.
To minimize Covid risks, please package in individual snack bags/containers. Provide enough for 25 people.
Take a moment to read the recommendations and comment with specifics when you sign up. Send us an email if you have any questions or ideas!!
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FOOD:
SANDWICHES: Bread can be wraps, bagels, croissants, rolls, subs, or loaf either whole grain or white. Turkey is preferred, or ham with cheese. Keep them plain so they won't get messy or soggy and cut them in to 2 inch or small portions so they can be picked up easily and are quick bites. We have two containers to hold them- we usually have about 2 serving per swimmer. We usually get sub rolls are bread at Sams and 3lbs of meat and 3bls of sliced cheese.
PASTA SALAD: Cooked pasta of any kind. Keep it light. No mayo - salad will sit out during the meet. We do have a cooler to transport. Favorite is spiral pasta, with mini pepperonis, small bites of mozzarella, and shredded parmesan with Italian Dressing (full bottle). Due to Covid concerns please package in individual containers (5-6oz cups)
ENERGY BITES or BARS: Any kind of protein food to go. The team loves the energy bites from this recipe. Here's our favorite recipe.
SWEET: Brownies, cookies, Muffins or other choice. We don't do a lot of sugar choices, so these come up on occasions for longer meets.
SALTY: Goldfish crackers, CheezeIts, pretzels or chips- sometime the kids ask for these. A party size is perfect or you can do indivual bags to keep them fresh
FRUIT: Grapes, bananas, halos, apple slices are all favorites.
TABLES/PAPER GOODS/ BOTTLED WATERS/COOLERS and ICE: The team has standard items that will be brought each meet. We list it so we make sure it's covered for transportation.
