Swimsuits and Goggles

All team members should be wearing attire that is appropriate for competitive swimming.

  • Girls: A one-piece competition suit.
     

  • Boys: Jammer or brief.
     

 

For competitions outside of Life Time, we have a special team suit that looks fantastic in the water!  Since these suits are embroidered, they’re non-refundable, but don’t worry — we have a sizing kit at the pool to help you find the perfect fit! Just come by early for practice and let your coach know. All swimmers should order this suit for the 2025-2026 season!

All swimmers should have a couple of pairs of goggles on hand (we recommend avoiding large scuba masks). And for those with longer hair, a swim cap is highly recommended! Each swimmer gets a free latex cap, and we have silicone caps available for purchase if you prefer.
