If you’ve ever wondered what a swimmer needs with them at a competition, fear not. Luke Greenbank took time out from picking up two silver medals at the British Swimming Championships to give us a sneak peek into the contents of his TYR bag.

1 x training pair of trunks
6 x spare pairs of trunks
1 x towel
1 x Loughborough Performance Centre T shirt (very crumpled!)
2 x goggles
1 x racing pair of trunks
2 x caps
1 x pair of shorts
1 x sheet with start model templates; stroke sheet and timings
1 x drinks bottle. Today orange squash, but usually cranberry because I don’t like the taste of water.
“My bag is usually the same for every event, I usually have a foam roller but have forgotten mine today so have had to borrow one. I don’t have a routine for packing it, just put the big stuff at the bottom and then shove the rest in. The worst thing I’ve ever found in there was an old banana.”
