SWIM EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS & Personalized PASA Swim Caps
 

In order to help our athletes become the best swimmers they can be we do require some equipment during our training. This equipment will help strengthen specific parts of their swimming and assist in others. This gear can also be fun and help add some novelty to our training sessions. 

 

Each practice group has a different equipment needs, which you can find from your swimmer's coach.  All these training tools can be purchased through our team store (scroll to the bottom to see the group equipment packages).  

 

 

Burgess Pool does have equipment that swimmers can borrow until they purchase their own equipment.  PASA swimmers will be allowed to borrow Burgess equipment through September 28.  After that date, all swimmers must have their own swim equipment.  

 

NOTE - PASA Personalize swim caps can be ordered through our team store 

(DEADLINE IS SEPTEMBER 15)

 

NOTE - PASA-Menlo Park has logoed gear bags for purchase from the coaching staff ($30). 

Please reach out to your coach if you would like to purchase one.
