Swimmers registering by October 1st for the 2024-25 season will receive ONE new team shirt, a team cap, and a team towel. After October, registration fees and offerings may be adjusted based on availability.
Training Equipment
Swimmers should bring training equipment with them to all practices. Specific items/lists can be found here on our website, under each program group, and also in our SwimOutlet storefront.
Our team has a TYR portal and orders placed directly through the TYR site receive free s/h over $75 and a 25% discount at checkout. Visit http://teams.tyr.com/, create an account, and use the access code VGATORS25 to get started! Look under the "custom" tab to create hoodies, joggers, or backpacks with our logo! If you have any issues, contact our rep, Ashley, at ajiran@tyr.com. (For tech suits, save 30% at TYR.com using code EAJUPPASF.)
Our coaches have recommended some specific products (linked in our SwimOutlet storefront) that they believes would be most beneficial to swimmers. While we do have a few extra items on deck if a swimmer forgets, items such as fins and snorkels need to be individual to a swimmer for size and safety.

Before ordering anything, or if you have any questions, PLEASE check with Jolanthe Erb regarding any needed team equipment, as we may have it on hand for you and can get it to you quickly.
An email with information will be sent out to new families after August 20th with links and more information regarding gear for practices.
Team & Parent Shirts
Each swimmer will receive a team shirt when joining the team. Additional shirts or sweatshirts for siblings or parents may be purchased from our store with Dynamic Promo (open until 10/1/24). We do not have guarateed delivery dates once our bulk order is placed at the start of the season, so your patience is appreciated!
Team Suit & Cap
Team suits may be purchased for a discounted rate via our TYR store. Suit sizing can be arranged at any time during the year by contacting Jolanthe Erb.
Additional silicone caps are available for $15. Please contact Jolanthe Erb regarding any needed team gear.
Practice Suits & Tech Suits
Swimmers are encouraged to wear their team suit and cap during practices at meets. Some swimmers prefer to wear a different cap, or no cap, for practices, but the Gators cap must be worn during meets.
Tech suits may only be worn by swimmers 13 and older per USA Swimming guidelines. Coach Scot recommends swimmers save the use of their tech suits for focal meets (championship and meets trying to qualify for championships). You can read more in one of our past newsletters HERE.
