Orinda Aquatics will begin 2020-2021 season with some changes to team apparel and gear. We are excited about the changes to the team look and general organization. While we are remaining a Speedo sponsored team, we are changing team vendors to Conejo Swimworks in Southern California. Conejo is a highly respected and nationally recognized team dealer. This document will summarize apparel and gear, both required and optional. We are grateful to Kati McDermott for organizing overseeing this effort on behalf of the team and staff. Kati can be reached at Katiswim44@gmail.com.

Overview

The focus of this effort will be to standardize the teams’ appearance and equipment use. Additionally, with the advent of the coronavirus, we will move away from shared equipment and ask that each swimmer have the required gear in his or her equipment bag. With regard to policy, team attire is required by all team members at all meets and is specific to the list below. Please note that “Spirit Wear” (defined below) is not considered team attire with regard to meets. Also, to facilitate proper training, swimmers are required to have group-specific gear.

Spirit Wear

Our parents will offer various Orinda Aquatics items two times a year (fall and spring). These items are for casual wear for swimmers, and again, should not be substituted as team attire. Look for emails regarding Spirit Wear.

Conejo Swimworks

An Orinda Aquatics Team Store has been set up at Conejo Swimworks. Once you have created an account with Conejo, find your group and a list of the training gear and apparel. Your purchased order will be shipped directly to you. Please check with your coach if you have any questions about training equipment. It is important that each swimmer’s suit and t-shirt size is updated in TeamUnify, as coaches will use this information to order team t-shirts.
