Swim Gear
Swimsuits:
Official swim team suits and speedos are available for purchase through Swim Things - 3010 SW US Highway 40 Blue Springs, MO 64105- (ask to be shown Lasers uniforms). Swimmers are encouraged to wear these at meets, but not required. For practices, they can either wear their uniform or wear another athletic suit or speedo.
Suits are rotated every 2 years. The same suits used in 2025 will be used for 2026.
Goggles:
It is a good idea to invest in multiple pairs of goggles for the season! Always bring a back-up pair at meets. Amazon and Costco sell good quality options.
Swim cap:
Wearing a swim cap is up to your swimmer's preference and their comfort level. Wearing a swim cap can increase speed and can protect hair from chlorine. Tip: spray your child’s hair before the pool with a spray bottle mix of water/conditioner, to help protect from chemicals.
Towels:
For practice, one towel. For swim meets it is a good idea to pack multiple towels – they get drenched, and it can get very chilly in the dark. Bring hoodies/sweatshirts for evening meets as well!
Family Supplies for Meets:
- Wagons - arrive in style with all your gear, it could be a long walk from your parking spot!
- Tents - families routinely setup tents in the hot sun.
- Chairs/Blankets - bring what you need to spread out in the grass for the meet.
- Coolers - BYO picnic and drinks!
- Food Trucks - there usually is food on hand to purchase if you don't have time to pack!
