Practice Equipment

While our swimmers have some access through the school to fins, pull buoys, and paddle boards, there are benefits to purchasing your own equipment—particularly fins (zoomers).   Fins that do not fit can tear your swimmer’s skin.  And, while our pools have boards, fins, and pull buoys, some of our practice groups have gotten big enough that there are not enough of these tools for every swimmer.  So, we strongly recommend the following equipment be purchased by swimmers and brought to every practice.
