* Bring correct clothing for poolside and wear it! You should have- Deepings T shirts, shorts or track suit bottoms, clean trainers for your land warm up not flip flops, a hoody to make sure your muscles keep warm before your race.
* You should always wear a Deepings hat during your race. Bring extra hat and goggles in case of breakages.
* Bring drinks and snacks to poolside. Water is the best form of hydration, no sugary snacks or crisps. Fruit, dried fruit, cereal bars (check sugar content)
* Speak to your coach before and after your race for instructions and feedback.
* Warm down after your race if possible
* Check the results to see if you are in the final or are a reserve. Both reserves and finalist will be expected to report fora final. If you are a reserve you will be released by the competitive stewards if you are not required. Report to the final race ready.
