TEAM OUTFITTING POLICIES & PROCEDURES

The Potomac Marlins yearly Team Fee includes a Speedo Team Outfitting Package for each registered swimmer. Two team T-shirts, a team suit,  and team swim cap are provided each season. Several additional special outfitting items will be included with the outfitting packages in three year cycles. These items will be determined each season and noted when the information becomes available. These special additional items will be determined by the Head Coaches and the Team's Outfitting Coordinator in conjunction with Sport Fair and Speedo's seasonal supply.

As a Speedo contracted team, we require that all of our swimmers wear Speedo suits when they are representing the Potomac Marlins.  This includes all open meets, travel meets and championship meets.  Please review our team outfitting policy here.

Note: Accurate sizing information is required upon registration. Please make sure to double check sizes before completing the registration process. Clothing items come in both Youth and Adult sizes. See also the Speedo suit sizing chart and the Speedo Warm Up Sizing Chart or contact Sport Fair with sizing questions. All exchanges must be made at the Sport Fair store if not accomplished at the Sport Fair outfitting day in September. Accuracy with the initial order will greatly expedite the process. SPEEDO products (suits and warm-ups) can be fitted at any local SPEEDO dealer.

OUTFITTING DELIVERY: All swimmers who register prior to August 20th each season, will be guaranteed to receive their outfitting packages at the annual Sport Fair outfitting day in mid-September. Swimmers who register after this date will have their packages ready for delivery to the practice facilities in 2-week intervals following the Sport Fair Outfitting Day. Swimmers who register after September 20th, will have their packages delivered to the pools or shipped to their home addresses within two weeks of their registration date. To assure outfitting packages are ready for the first swim meet, we strongly encourage all swimmers to register prior to August 1st.
