If your swimmer practices at the pool where his or her age group is assigned, the coach can get to know his or her abilities. And finally, we want the Blue Marlins swim team experience to be enjoyable and this goal is more easily met if the kids can swim with their friends. Swimmers are not required to wear a team swimsuit, however, a competition style suit is preferred, especially at meets. For girls, the competition suit is comfortable and avoids problems with straps falling off the shoulders. For boys, the competition suit does not have the drag that a traditional suit has.
Some young boys are reluctant to wear the competition suit.
They might want to wear a traditional suit over the competition suit until they are ready to swim at the meet. A board member will try to respond as soon as possible.
