Suit and Equipment ordering
Team Gear can be purchased from several sources and typically the major outlets online will deliver the fastest. Amazon is an option as well. (see our resources page for links) You will need to purchase your suits from Metro Swim shop.
If you know your suit size you can go ahead and place an order on the team portal. The suits are Speedo Endurance so you might also have the option of going into a Dicks sporting goods or other swim shop to see if you can find this suit and try it on.

Recommendations for Gear (Resources page has links to browse products-swimoutlet provides good details on products) Please try to order your gear early if you are confident you know your sizes. Metro will bring some gear to the suit sizing event on 10 November. If you want to order after seeing the gear there that would be fine just try to have it shipped to you prior to the following week.

pull buoy: Many similar options exist.
Standard one piece fins (Important to have these early in season)
