What to bring to practices

• WHITE TEAM – suit, goggles, cap, towel, running shoes;
• SILVER TEAM – suit, goggles, team cap, towel, running shoes, pull buoy;
• BLUE 3 TEAM - suit, goggles, team cap, towel, running shoes, short-fins, pull buoy, snorkel;
• BLUE 2 TEAM - suit, goggles, team cap, towel, running shoes, short-fins, pull-buoy, snorkel, resistance bags;
• *BLUE 1 TEAM – suit, goggles, cap, towel, running shoes, short-fins, pull buoy, hand paddles, snorkel, resistance bags, swim parachute

These are the necessities. We recommend that all swimmers carry an extra cap, suit, and pair of goggles - “just in case.” Coaches do not carry extra items to loan swimmers for practice and the facilities do not regularly have extras to loan.

CLEARLY LABEL ALL ITEMS THAT ARE TAKEN TO PRACTICE. Swimmers should bring their bags, clothes, etc. onto the pool deck with them or lock them in a locker during practice. They may hang their swim bags on deck, but must keep the area clean. The Foothills Area YMCA is not responsible for any lost or stolen items. 

*pull buoys provided by the Y, however it is recommended that older swimmers buy their own. Fins, hand paddles, resistance bags, parachutes, and snorkel are all optional at this time.
