Every swimmer must have their own cap, goggles and EQUIPMENT!!  Equipment should be brought to EVERY practice!!  Swimmers should have at least 2 pairs of goggles in their bag.

Mesh bags are meant to get wet!!  Do NOT place towels or clothes in these bags and bring them onto the pool deck.  It will get wet!!  Use regular backpacks or bags for your dry clothes and leave them locked up in one of the locker rooms.

Swimmers are able to use the Boys locker room, Girls, Women's (18 and under) and the family locker room.  Swimmers, regardless of age are NOT allowed to use the 18+ locker rooms.

Everything should be LOCKED in the locker rooms.  There are many members of the YMCA that use these locker rooms.  Please remember a padlock to lock your things up.  You will need to remove your items each day.
