Swim Equipment

What equipment does my child need?

Goggles: 
Any of the Speedo or Zoggs Junior goggles are suitable for learning to swim.

Don't forget Goggles also available to buy at reception at UCS Active

Trunks/Swimsuit:

Any swimsuit or trunks are suitable for learning to swim as long as they fit well and your child is comfortable.
More advanced swimmers will need a one piece swimsuit (girls) and Jammers or Aquashorts (boys) rather than baggy board shorts.

Swimming Hats:

Your child does not need to wear a swim hat but long hair must be tied back away from the face.
If your child has long hair (or a hairstyle that is difficult to tie up) then we would recommend that they wear a hat, especially once they are ready for a squad class.
Swim hats do keep their hair dry so we do recommend these for the winter months.
