Practice Equipment 

*Please label EVERYTHING!*

Team Equipment and Suits can be purchased through SWIM FREAK.

Please bring the following equipment to every practice:

Swim Suit: a one piece swimsuit

Swim Goggles

Swim Cap: one provided per season, extra available for purchase

Mesh swim bag: in addition to helping keep the deck free from things for coaches to trip over, keeping equipment in a mesh bag helps keep swimmers’ equipment from getting mixed up with teammates' equipment.  

Water bottle: reusable with the swimmer's name boldly written.  

We will have kickboards and pull buoys for use on deck; they do not need to be purchased unless a swimmer prefers to use their own.

At the beginning of the season, Coaches will inform families of the additional equipment that should be purchased (E.g., Fins, or any other

necessary equipment). Please wait to buy these items to avoid getting the wrong equipment.  

Cold Weather Suggestions

BRING EXTRAS OF EVERYTHING - Make sure to bring an extra towel and lots of additional layers. While they may take up room in your swim bag, you’ll want to bundle up right after you get out of the water, especially if you don’t want to spend a lot of time standing outside in the cold while you dry yourself off. Also, don’t forget to bring a hat to keep your hair from freezing after practice!

WEAR TWO SWIM CAPS - If it isn’t uncomfortable for you, wear two caps. As the only exposed part of your body in presumably a heated pool, wearing two caps will help keep your body heat and prevent you from getting too cold during practice. You can also wear your cap or winter hat right up until you get in the water to ensure that your body temperature stays regulated as you take off your other layers.

BRING WATER-FRIENDLY CLOTHING - Wearing a parka, a pair of towel pants, or a robe is a good way to keep you warm after practice without having to deal with the hassle of wet clothes. Bring one of these items with you to wear at the end of practice. Parkas can be purchased at most swim stores. The parka in the image was ordered from Amazon, and it is Speedo.
