RAD Team Uniform Policy for Competitions

Year Round - Competitive Groups

All swimmers must adhere to this policy at swim meets. Everyone is expected to meet these requirements.

Swim Meet Swim Caps Policy

Swimmers need to wear a cap at a swim meet, the swimmers must wear their current team swim cap while doing warm-ups and competition. IF YOU ARE IN NEED OF CAPS, PLEASE CONTACT: CHRISTINA ACOSTA [email protected]

Swim Meet T-shirt and On-Deck Dress Policy

While attending a swim meet, all members must wear a RAD team T-shirt.  For meets that are championships and have special shirts, the swimmers must wear the designated T-shirt for that swim meet on the first and last day of the meet.  If the swim meet is more than two days, the swimmers must wear a team T-shirt on the middle days. All swimmers will receive one team T-shirt at the beginning of the summer season. 

Swimmers are permitted to wear RAD jackets or parkas on deck at a swim meet in instances where they would like to stay a bit warmer.  Jackets, parkas, bags, warm-ups, t-shirts, shorts, sweatshirts, sweatpants, or any other article of clothing that shows the name, slogan, or logo of another team (including summer league teams, high school teams, and the Western Zone team) are not permitted at swim meets at any time.  These items are also not to be worn at any time while on a team travel trip.

Technical Racing suits can be swimmer’s choice. Technical suits are designed to reduce drag and/or increase compression for the swimmer.  These suits can only be worn by swimmers at certain swim meets AND when indicated by the coaching staff.  Unless told otherwise, all swimmers must wear their Team style meet suit. Tech suits not for use by swimmers 12 and under.

For convenience, practice equipment as well as RAD team bags, parkas, warm-up suits, team meet suits and equipment can be purchased through our online Team store.  Order forms will be available on our website www.reddingswimteam.com

Equipment:  Swimmers are to return all Redding Swim Team pool/swim gear (i.e. kickboards) to their proper place and should relocate any stray gear to safe and appropriate locations. If a swimmer breaks, loses, and/or make the pieces of Redding Swim Teams equipment unusable, the family is responsible for the cost of replacement. 

Competition goggles are needed for all swimmers. Each group is required to purchase additional equipment for practices/training as list below:
