How do I prepare for the swim team?
Swim lessons are available at Ooltewah Swim Center and other pools for those who feel they may need additional stroke or diving instruction. Otherwise, be prepared to come to practice to work hard but also have fun!
Equipment needed
Each team member will need to purchase a suit. There is not a required team suit. Tie back suits for girls are not allowed at meets (they tie in the back like a shoelace) and boys’ suits must be the jammer (fitted) type. Goggles, fins, and a kick board are also needed. Each swimmer is required to wear their school swim cap during the meets. One swim cap per swimmer is provided. Additional caps are available for $10 each. Spirit wear will be through Sports Spectrum. We will let you know more about that just as soon as possible.
Our goal is to have a team who competes well, but also fosters individual improvement in swimming and character. We are fortunate to have a positive, enthusiastic, and encouraging group of swimmers and parents. We look forward to having you on the team. Please contact [email protected] with any questions.
