Flexfins Designed with a Long Blade Length to increase leg strength and enhance foot flexibility, Flexfins™ are a perfect choice for swimmers at any level that are looking to increase power in the water.

We also recommend you guys get a kick board and pull buoy for your child as we often run out during practice; make sure you write their name on it Sharpie so they aren't misplaced.

Youth Classic Kickboard The TYR Youth Kickboard is engineered for children, young adults and smaller swimmers. It's a perfect training aid for practicing kicks, exercise routines and building leg strength. Dimensions: 20" x 11.5"

Next meet is March 14th, please start signing your kids up on shutterfly!

Here are some good goggles for the kids! We'd recommend getting bungee straps as well as they're easier to adjust and stay in place better.
