Each year we select a new suit as manufacturers
do not carry suit styles year to year (those of you who have
been with the Rapids for several years will remember the many
issues we've encountered in our previous attempts to use
"two-year" suits).
This year's suit selection is the TYR Team Check.
Team suits are not mandatory; however, it is strongly encouraged
for you to purchase the suit for your child(ren) to build unity
and team spirit .
The dive team and adult swim team will use the same suits and utilize the
same fitting dates and ordering processes as listed below.
See below for more info on the 2013 suits.
How much do the suits cost?
Girls'/Womens' suits
- $44.99 (sizes 20 through 40 in both styles)
Boys'/Mens' suits
- $29.99 for jammers (Size 22 through 38)
- $23.99 for racer brief (Size 22
through 38)
How do the suits fit?
These are competition suits so they will fit differently than a regular
bathing suit (more snug). It is best to try the suits on to determine your
correct size.
Also, we highly recommend that you do not buy sizes larger than you need with plans to let the kids
grow into the suits. The extra water taken on by baggy suits creates more
drag, makes your swimmer less efficient, and significantly increases the
effort it takes your swimmer to practice and race.
When will suit fittings occur?
We will do two swimsuit fittings for 2013 during our normal
practice times.
- Monday, April 29th
from 5:30 - 7:30 PM at the Roswell Area Pool.
- Tuesday, May 7th from
5:30 - 7:30 PM at the Roswell Area Pool.
How do I purchase?
Suits will be in-stock and available for purchase at both
swimsuit fittings on April 29th and May 7th.
If you are unable to purchase the suit at either fitting, you
can purchase online at our team store:

We recommend that everyone try-on the suits before purchasing if
possible. Only experienced, year-round divers/swimmers that are
familiar with TYR race suits should consider purchasing before
trying the suits on.
What if I have additional questions about the suits?
The volunteers working the fittings should be able to answer your questions or
find someone that can answer them. You may also email
swimsuits@roswellrapids.org
with your questions.
