A swimmer’s kit is an important part of supporting their training and helping them to feel part of the team identity. We have a team uniform which is mandatory when training with our club. Uniformity is an important component of Artistic Swimming, and this is reflected in our expectations of our swimmers whenever they are attending any club event, from training to national competitions, our swimmers should be wearing the correct club kit at all times.
Basic kit is needed until your swimmer progresses to the Novice squad, where additional kit is required for training.
