What to Take to Practice
Practice swim suit
Chlorine is hard on fabric and meet suits are too snug for comfortable practicing. Remember to rinse your suit after practice and hang it up to dry!
Towel
Towels are needed to dry off or to keep you warm if chilly in pool area.
Goggles
Goggles come in various styles and swimmers may have to try or have several pairs before they find that perfect fit. Once this happens, buy several pairs and mark the swimmer’s name on them.
Caps
Caps for long hair are a must; we highly recommend a cap for everyone in the pool. The chemicals are not kind to hair and hair clogs the pool filters. All meet swimmers are required to wear a team cap if wearing a cap. Team caps can be purchased from the officers or coach. Cost is $12.00.
Water bottle
Each swimmer should be drinking water for proper hydration. They can have a squeezable bottle to fill at the drinking fountain and reused at each practice. Please remember to take it with you after practice!
Lotion, Shampoo, Conditioner
Pool chemicals sometimes leave the skin and hair dry. We recommend swimmers wash their hair after practice. Lotions are good to use on the skin. A good wash and rinse helps prevent chlorine build up and drying of the skin and hair. Remember to turn the water off after showering! We also emphasize the importance of prompt entrance and exit of the locker rooms before and after dressing. Horsing around may lead to serious injury and disturbing the personal property of another WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!
