Family Locker Room Procedures

We want to remind all swim team families that the changing rooms in the Family Locker Room operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Recently, we’ve been made aware of instances where rooms have been “reserved,” limiting access for others waiting to change after practice.

Please be courteous and respectful to all members and families by not holding or reserving changing rooms. Our team is proud to maintain a positive reputation within the club, and your cooperation plays a vital role in upholding that standard.

Thank you for your understanding and support!

 

 

Team Gear Reminders

As our team continues to grow, it’s important that swimmers bring their own equipment to practice. We've recently had multiple sessions where loaner gear was not available for all athletes. Please ensure your swimmer has the following items:

  • Development 1 & 2: Mesh Bag, Kickboard, Long Training Fins, Rubber Ducky
     

  • Bronze: Mesh Bag, Kickboard, Long Fins, Finis Snorkel (Junior for 10&U), Rubber Ducky
     

  • Silver: Mesh Bag, Kickboard, Long Fins, Pull Buoy, Finis Paddles, Finis Snorkel, Rubber Ducky
     

  • Gold: Mesh Bag, Kickboard, Short Fins, Pull Buoy, Finis Paddles, Finis Snorkel, Rubber Ducky
     

Note: Coaches will provide rubber duckies if needed—many swimmers may already have one from past meets.
