We hope this will help you as you get started on our team and/or in the sport of swimming!
New Family Information:
What do we need to get started (video)?
Team suits will be available on our Team Store at select times during the year. Swimmers will need a team suit and team cap for swim meets. For practice suits we recommend any "grab bag" suit (discounted competition swim suit), and save the team suit for meets.
Team caps are available at the beginning of each session and are customizable with the swimmer's last name, and all times at the pool office (without customization).
