EQUIPMENT

Q. How do I order training equipment?  How do I know what to get?
Under the Equipment tab you can find a page called Required Training Equipment.  There you can find out not only what you need for your group, but also a style guide of what to buy and not to buy.  We may have a few items in stock.  You can find it through the team gear shop.

Q. Do I need all the required training gear for my group?
Yes.  Especially in the older groups, sets and intervals are designed around using equipment.  When your swimmer doesn't have their gear, they will miss the goal of the set and often get in the way of other swimmers.

Q. How do I order team gear?
You can order through our team gear shop.  You can find a link under the Equipment Tab.

Q. I'm not sure what size to order for a hoodie or a t-shirt (team gear).  How can I try things on?
Once you place an order online, please mention in the note section that you will need to try things on.  The equipment manager will make arrangements to try on a sizing kit.

Q. Why are orders placed only once a month?  Why is my size not already stocked?
We do have some sizes in stock of common items and fulfill orders right away if the size is in stock.  If not, since our supplier is in Richmond, it saves time and money to place orders at the same time if items are not in stock.

Q. I heard that SKSC gets a discount at Team Aquatic Supplies?  How do I get it?
You can find a copy of the discount card under the equipment tab of the website.

Q. How do I know which events to sign up for?

Q. How do I change my commitment for an event?
Updating for new website

Q. I'm not going to an event.  Do I need to put no or can I just not put a commitment down?
It really helps with the organization of events to put down No if you cannot attend.  Also, if you always indicate an answer, a coach is more likely to follow up if you forget to put an answer, helping you in case you forget and still wish to attend an event.

Q. Does SKSC have a fundraising commitment?
