Club Kit

Only Club branded hoodies and tops are to be worn poolside at all competitions, together with plain black/blue shorts or tracksuit bottoms or leggings. Fashion shorts, trousers or jeans are not allowed on poolside.

You can only order Club kit direct from Wyvern Swimwear , which they will deliver to you directly.

When ordering please check sizes carefully as they use European sizing and this is slightly smaller than UK sizes, which means generally you should consider going up a size.

If requesting personalisation on any items please ensure that you do not put your swimmers full name, only first name or surname.

It is recommended that athletes have a couple of Club tops as they do get wet and it is important to stay warm when at an event all day.

All the details, including how to order, timescales and measurements, are on the Wyvern Swimwear website. If you have any queries, please email clubkit@chelmsfordcityswimmingclub.org.uk before placing your order.

Club Hats

When representing the Club at a Competitive Swimming competition you must wear a Club competition hat, which is Royal Blue with a White Logo. These can be purchased via your Club Organiser account.

We recommend that you always have several of these with you at each competition as they do break and the last thing a swimmer needs is to try and borrow someone else’s hat just before their race.

The Club also has a number of different hats in various colours, as detailed below. You will be given one hat upon joining that squad, any further hats that you need can be purchased via your Club Organiser account.

Rinsing your hat and ensure that it is thoroughly dry inside and out after each use will help prolong the life of it.
