NEW EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENT

     We are asking that ALL GOLD I and II swimmers have their own snorkel. Please click 

HERE or HERE to purchase your snorkel ASAP! One is a link to the tried-and-true Finis 

snorkel on Swimoutlet.com and the other is a knock-off brand from Amazon. As long as 

the snorkel you purchase is this style (does not go to the side out of the mouth, rather 

straight up in front of the nose, and has a valve at the bottom) it does not matter what 

brand you buy.

CBSC Swim Caps

     Every swimmer gets 1 free CBSC Latex Cap. Please have your swimmer ask your coach!!

SWIM MEET Expectations

     Just a couple reminders about swim meets

• Please have your swimmer ready to get in at our designated warm up time. Don’t show up at that time, they need to be on the deck, cap and goggles on at that time!

• Every CBSC swimmer should be wearing a YELLOW CBSC cap at meets. Silicone caps are available for purchase in the office, $15 each if you don’t want to use the latex cap provided to all swimmers. These can be billed to your account. You can also purchase additional latex caps for $10 each.

• Swimmers need to talk to the CBSC coach on deck immediately before and immediately after each race!! This is the perfect time to gain feedback from their races!
