When you pack for a swim meet there are several items you will definitely need. Some of those are a competition suit, two pairs of goggles or money just in case the first pair breaks, a team cap, and at least two towels. You will need shorts or a pair of sweat pants and a sweatshirt to keep you warm. Wearing shorts or sweat pants between swims will keep things from catching your suit and damaging it. It would also be smart to take water, gatorade, crackers, ect. and/or money for concessions. You might need to bring some tylenol too.
If the meet is outdoors, you will need to bring sunscreen, extra water, and sunglasses. Some outdoor meets and even some indoor meets have very little seating room; because of this it would be good to bring beach chairs or a blanket to sit on.
If you like to be pumped up before a race, you can bring an ipod or mp3 player.
The only other thing you'll need after you pack all of this is a marker, a pen and a highlighter. These help you keep up with the swims. And of course bring a good attitude and be sure you are ready to swim for your best times!!
