Swim Equipment Policies
Below, you will find Cardinal Hill Swim Team equipment policies for the 2025 season. Additionally we have provided links to our recommended brands and styles of gear in order to help your swimmer feel prepared and comfortable at every practice.
1) Swimmers will regularly use kick boards, pull buoys, and fins during practice.
- We have enough team-supplied kick boards and pull buoys to be used at each practice, so you do not need to purchase and bring your own
- We are no longer supply fins, so we expect that swimmers bring their own pair
2) All swimmers must wear swim goggles during practice.
3) Long hair must be tucked into a swim cap. We will provide swimmers with Cardinal Hill caps at the beginning of the season.
4) The correct swim suit is essential to feeling comfortable and capable at practices and meets. This being said, all swimmers should wear a competitive swim suit to practice. We advise against wearing swim shirts or swim trunks. These increase drag and lead to improper body position in the water.
5) Water bottle. Swimmers sweat a lot during their practices and it is vital that they replenish their fluids throughout each workout. Please bring a water bottle to every practice!
