Elmwood Sharks partners with ARENA for team apparel and outfitting!
Team,
It’s with great excitement that we can announce our team has partnered with ARENA for our competitive and apparel needs. ARENA comes highly recommended by several teams already in partnership with them for their products and service, and is preferred amongst several of our own athletes. This will help streamline our branding, apparel, suits, and is a great way to tie everyone together!
Per our agreement with ARENA, athletes/families are asked and encouraged to purchase the following:
-
1 ARENA suit each year – can be team/practice suit or more advanced for applicable swimmers
-
1-2 extra pieces of gear over the next 2 years – Warm-up jacket, backpack, hoodie, parka, or something similar from the team store.
-
These are normally things athletes and families already purchase, so there are not many more extra costs than normal, just redirecting and streamlining our team purchases. As we transition this first year, when something needs to be replaced, please replace it with an ARENA product from our team store. These often times make great holiday gifts.
We will continue with SwimOutlet as our dealer and keep our same team store website currently in use. It is not currently updated so please do not make purchases yet; we will have it updated with ARENA products in the next couple of weeks. Below are discounts on ARENA products our team will receive:
Team suit, training equipment, backpacks & warm-ups: 20% off MSRP
Racing suits –
Entire team – 15% off Powerskin ST & Revo-One suits
AG/SR State Champs Qualifiers - 25% off Carbon Racing; 20% off Powerskin ST & Revo-One
NCSA/Sectionals - 35% off all ARENA suits + $75 ARENA VIK/swimmer
Futures – 40% off all ARENA suits + $250 ARENA VIK/swimmer
Additional discounts and VIK for meets beyond Futures.
In the coming weeks we’ll have some parent and athlete education on suits – what is most appropriate for each age and achievement level relevant to what each suit costs. We will also try to have a fitting/sizing day for our parents and athletes to purchase the correct size.
Please let me know if you have any questions on this. This is a big step forward for our team and one that I'm greatly looking forward to with future branding and team spirit. Special thanks to ARENA for partnering with us!
Coach Beau
