Each group at SMAC has a required list of equipment that they will need in order to participate fully at each practice. There is a limited amount of training equipment for swimmers to borrow at the pool, but do ask that families ensure their swimmers have the necessary equipment before the first day of practice.

Practice Suits:

Females- one piece swimsuit required. 2 piece suits not allowed

Males- Jammers or Briefs required. No swim trunks.

Swim Meet Apparel: Athletes are expected to wear a team shirt, current team cap, and a black suit at all competitions. (Swimmers must purchase a black swimsuit on their own as part of their swim meet attire.)

Online Store: SMAC has an online store, accessible on the website, to make shopping for your swimmer easier.

Required Training Equipment by practice group:

• All Swimmers: Goggles + 1 extra pair. Goggles for smaller swimmers, particularly, need to fit their face. For smaller swimmers, we recommend the following models:
• Arena Python Jr - Non-Mirrored or Mirrored
• Speedo Jr Vanquisher- Non-Mirrored; Speedo Jr. Vanquisher Mirrored
• Tyr Black Ops
• Arena Tracks

DO NOT BUY THE FIRST SEARCH RESULT FOR “GOGGLES”. THEY NEED TO FIT YOUR SWIMMER’S FACE. IF THEY ARE THE INCORRECT SIZE, WATER WILL GET INTO THEM AND YOU WILL NEED TO BUY NEW GOGGLES! They are basically like shoes! They need to be the correct size!
