Swimmers and Parents,
In order to achieve a uniform look and team spirit when we compete, all CCSC competitive swimmers are required to purchase our team suit. Please take a look below at the suit requirements for the different levels of meets that we have. Also, if you are considering purchasing a technical suit for your teenager, please read our tech suit buying guide.

Technical Suit Buying Guide
For some swimmers, a technical suit may provide a little boost. These suits should only be worn at a championship meet, or under special circumstances with a coach’s permission. Here are the Tech Suit buying guidelines...
- No one in the CCSC is required to purchase a technical suit.
- If you purchase one, it must say “FINA Approved”. (Speedo sells some that are not. Do not buy one. Officials could prohibit your swimmer from racing in it.)
- Do not purchase a suit that your swimmer can “grow into”. For it to be effective, it must be impossibly small.
- Do not expect the suit to last more than a few meets.
- Purchase only black suits without any colors. Do not buy a $400 suit in the
wrong color and expect to wear it.

Athletes in the Senior Group and National Group are expected to wear the Team Warm-Up in navy blue.
Additional team gear is also available for purchase through the CCSC Team Store: …
