Team Parkas
Team parkas are not just for swim meets! Have you froze your tookas off walking from the pool deck to the locker rooms? Do you like feeling like a flasher as you drive home from practice with nothing on but your speedo and a coat? They have our team logo and names, navy blue, and less than 100.00! Yes, my friends.... they are a necessity for coolness! We will be having the order information on the team website soon!
