TEAM AND TECH SUITS

Team Suit
Just like wearing team shirts, parkas, caps, etc., we have designated meet suits with the DSA logo that our swimmers are required to wear during swim meets. Instead of our swimmers wearing a variety of different suits and colors that include designer prints, high school suits, and practice suits, we feel it's important to look like a TEAM.
Our designated team suits are practical, yet effective for racing and are perfect for early to mid-season competition for our older swimmers (please refer below to our Tech Suit Policy for championship meets), and ideal for our younger swimmers year round.
The suits we have selected allow for some choice and flexibility in design and material.

Tech Suit
Technical Suits (any swimsuit with a FINA approved stamp) will only be worn at specific meets during the season as designated by the DSA coaching staff. These meets will include.....all end of the season championship meets (i.e. State, Silver State, Sectionals, etc), a mid-season meet designated by the coaching staff (i.e. Pioneer Open or similar), or in specific cases where a swimmer is trying to acheive a new time standard (at coach's discretion only).
12 & Unders
As of September 1, 2020, USA Swimming has banned the use of tech suits by 12 & Under swimmers. Please go to USA Swimming's Tech Suit page to find restricted and allowed suits. The nice people at MI Sports will also be able to help parents/swimmers.
