"The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team." --Phil Jackson



Team suit lowdown:  Our team suit is a TYR racing suit in purple, black, and white.  The girls' suit costs $63 and the boys' suit costs $42.  They are, obviously, the athletes' suits to keep.  We encourage all swimmers to purchase a team suit.   If the cost is prohibitive or seems outlandish for such an eency piece of clothing, our swimmers should compete in a pair of plain black suit or jammers, available for purchase locally and online.
