Required Equipment

Goggles:

A good pair of SWIM GOGGLES (and a spare) with your child’s name on them is essential and required for practice and meets!! They allow your child to open his/her eyes and not to swim blindly in the dark! For your younger children, they take a little getting used to, but please persevere; it will be well worth it.

You are welcome to purchase your equipment wherever you would like; however, an online store is set up at Swimoutlet to make it easy to purchase.
