SWIM SUITS/EQUIPMENT - You can go ahead and purchase your team swimsuit and fins on our team site on Swim Outlet.

SWIMSUITS - It is the same design as last year. Team suits should be worn at meets. Returns are easy so if you are unsure of the size, we recommend buying multiple. If you are unable to purchase a team suit, they may wear a blue/black suit.
FINS – fins are mandatory especially for young swimmers. They help build their endurance and will make practices easier. The color of the fins are based on the size of the fin.

We look forward to seeing all of you this season!
