TEAM OUTFITTING POLICY: Only Potomac Marlins outfitting and equipment and outfitting should be worn on deck during all practices and USA swim meets. This means if a swimmer wears a cap, he/she must wear a Marlins team cap, not a summer team cap, High School team cap or generic cap. Having a spare cap or two in your PURPLE backpack is recommended in case one rips. Caps can be purchased at Sport Fair 703-524-9500. Some deck coaches also have caps available for direct purchase.
Marlins team suits are preferred for practices, but any generic suit (preferably SPEEDO) is acceptable. We recommend that previous year’s team suits are used for practice and current year’s team suits are saved for meets. Marlins team suits are absolutely REQUIRED for all USA meets in which Marlins swimmers are participating.
Only PURPLE Marlins logoed backpacks are permitted on deck for practice and meets. All team items should be labeled and kept in the backpacks at all times when on deck. We recommend that PURPLE backpacks are brought on deck each night for practice rather than being kept in locker rooms. The only exception to this is for Sectional or Junior/Senior National qualifiers who may have been given special unique backpacks for these meets.
Only Potomac Marlins T-shirts, sweats and shorts are permitted at USA swim meets. High School, summer team and generic shirts should not be worn to meets. All swimmers are fully outfitted with these items at the beginning of each season.
Marlins deck coaches are authorized to have swimmers remove non-team caps and back-packs from the pool/deck area. PLEASE help us in this team wide effort to help our team look like a well organized and coached unit by supporting the Potomac Marlins team outfitting policies and procedures. LOOK LIKE A TEAM, ACT LIKE A TEAM, PERFORM LIKE A TEAM and SUCCEED LIKE A TEAM!
