Equipment: Swimmers are expected to acquire a pair of short swim fins – these are especially used during the first half of the season as a tool to support technical development but will also be used continuously throughout the season for various training purposes.

Events: The team will continuously be offered various club and social events, which are considered replacements for training sessions that may be canceled during the season due to activities in the swim school/competitive department. Many events are offered throughout the season, so we recommend that you stay informed via the calendar below.
