Equipment Lists

What does my swimmer wear or need for practice?
Swimmers may wear any training suit they wish during practice.  If they wear a cap, we encourage wearing a Lakeside Team Cap, but understand they may have training caps as well.  They will also need goggles, and probably need a back-up pair in their bag in case they break.  Each training group has different equipment assigned to them and you or your child will be notified of what is needed in a specific group.  We do try to add equipment to their training as they get older; this provides the swimmer with something new and different at each group and gives them something to look forward to.  

What does my swimmer wear or need for meets?
Our Team Suit is a solid navy blue Speedo with the Team Logo on it, which can be purchased at SwimVille USA in Louisville.  At meets we ask that swimmers wear a solid navy blue or black Speedo suit, and we always require a Lakeside Team Cap, if you wear a cap.
