Sharks Swim Club Apparel

Shark swimmer will wear the A3-Performance suits in competition: 

A3 Performance Solid  – This our team suit for  all 10-Unders   and for our non-championship meets.  The boys’ suit comes as a brief or as a jammer. This is the team suit that we will wear at most meets. 

Nova – The Nova suit is a racing suit that complies with USA Swimming’s new rules regarding tech-suit restrictions. Any 11-over shark can wear a Nova suit in a championship meet - with or without legs. Nova also serves as a great in-season racing suit as it performs at a high level and will last considerably longer than other tech suits.

The Nova is a performance racing suit, and not constructed to be worn every meet. You can expect to get 3 or 4 championship meets, at the minimum, out of the Nova suit. 

PRANA – This is the brand’s highest level technical racing suit. This suit, as well as the Phenom and Vici, can be worn in championship meets by 13-over athletes. and those who have minimally qualified for Eastern Zone Sectional Championships. The Prana is the most innovative, highest quality tech suit on the market, and is worn by Internaltional-level athletes, including World Champion, Katharine Berkoff .  Better compression and longer lasting.

· Shark Swimmers will receive a 20% discount on these suits. 

· Those who are buying to compete at our Sectional and above meets will get a 40% discount on the PRANA, PHENOM and VICI. 

· If athletes compete at Jr. Nationals, there is a 60% discount. 

· Swimmers who compete at US Nationals or Olympic Trials will receive a suit for free. 

A3 Performance is our team partner and is providing top-of-the line suits and equipment for our team at reduced prices on our Team Store Here.  Personalized team caps will be available to order now through September 23rd.

All swimmers are required to have blue and gray team t-shirts, to be worn at meets. These can be purchased during the team order. They are sold as a set: 1 blue and 1 gray t-shirt.

All Sharks are required to wear the team suit and cap (if a cap is worn), to swim meets. 

Senior 1 and Senior 2 group swimmers are also required to own a Sharks team warm-up jacket as well. Team warm-ups will be worn on entry to the site – and in any award ceremony. 

Other team apparel is optional; however, wearing the SHARK apparel and team sweats helps promote team unity and pride. It also greatly aids spectator recognition. 

Apparel from high school teams will not be worn by Sharks swimmers at USA Swim meets.
