So What Does Your Child Need For Swimming Sessions?
Apart from the obvious a good fitting pair of googles and an appropriate swimming costume, mini met swimmers should have:
- Mini Mets Swimming Hat – All swimmers are required to wear these. They can be purchased from the club office on Sundays 3.45-5.45 pm or via your coach. Current Price £6.
- A suitable sports bag for towel, costume etc. This should be big enough for storing their clothes in as space in changing rooms is limited and lockers are in short supply.
- A good sized sports drink bottle to keep fluid levels topped up. Water is all that is needed in it.
The following training aids would be useful, but please note we do have them available to borrow if you do not want to buy them:
- Flippers (short blade)
- Kickboard
- A net bag is useful for keeping the training kit together not just to and from poolside but also at home.
Besides the swimming cap all the above items can be purchased online or at sports retailers such as Decathlon.
Please remember to write your child’s name on all clothing and equipment (not just their initial). With 30+ kick boards and flippers at each session items easily get mixed up.
