Squad Equipment
We require all swimmers to bring their own squad equipment to Squad and SwimFit sessions. This includes goggles, swimmers, swim cap, towel, flippers, pull-buoy and a kick board if you have one. Please note that while we once occasionally lent equipment, we can no longer do so due to COVID-19 concerns.
