Basic equipment needed for practice are a towel, cap, goggles, a competitive practice suit, and a water bottle.  Each swimmer should have more than one pair of goggles, as well as more than one cap, in case they break.  Also, it may be best to save the team suit for meets and use another competitive suit for practices.

Other equipment needed is more specific to each group: 

Flippers & Mini-Dolphin groups:  Fins (long fins) and a kickboard.

Novice groups: Fins (short fins or zoomers), kickboard, and pull bouy for Novice 1 (no buoy for Novice 2).

Junior and Senior groups:  Short fins such as Arena Power Fins or Arena adult fins, kickboard, pull buoy, training snorkels, and hand paddles.
