Although we may have some practice equipment at some of the pools in our equipment bins, we ask that swimmers bring certain equipment items of their own to practice every day. The coaches will frequently ask the swimmers to "grab your fins!" or "grab your snorkels!": Here's what we'd like to see. It is handy to have a mesh equipment bag, that the kids can bring poolside with them. PLEASE LABEL ALL OF YOUR CHILD''S EQUIPMENT if possible.
Penguins: Req'd: shorter blade fins (coaches prefer the Speedo Switchblade fin), a Speedo Jr. Bullethead snorkel and water bottle (filled with your choice of cold hydration!)
Dolphins : Req'd: shorter blade fins (coaches prefer the Speedo Switchblade fin), a Speedo Jr. Bullethead snorkel (or standard size for those over 5' tall) and water bottle (filled with your choice of cold hydration!)
Sharks: Req'd: shorter blade fins (coaches prefer the Speedo Switchblade fin), a Speedo Bullethead snorkel (or Jr size for those under 5' tall) and water bottle (filled with your choice of cold hydration!);
Recommended: A Finis foil monofin and a finis tempo trainer.
Senior-levels: Req'd: shorter blade fins (coaches prefer the Speedo Switchblade fin), a Speedo Bullethead snorkel (or Jr size for those under 5' tall) and water bottle (filled with your choice of cold hydration!); A Finis tempo trainer (SrNats and above); Recommended: Finis foil monofin.
PLEASE LABEL ALL OF YOUR CHILD''S EQUIPMENT if possible. You might be surprised at the amount of items kids leave behind every night at practice. Please remind your kids to check and make sure they have everything before they leave practice.
