Team Suits

We have worked with Metro Swim Shop to line up a selection of TYR swim suits as Cambridge Masters Team Suits. Read the following Q and A to understand the decision making process. Take a look at pictures of the suits and contact Metro Swim Shops to order the suits.

Questions and Answers from Scott about the team suits:

Q. What suit company did we go with?
A. We select TYR at the request of a number of females who feel TYR makes a better fitting swim suit

Q. What colors are the suits?
A. Blue & Black

Q. Is there a Team Logo on the suit?
A. Unfortunately it does NOT have the team logo this year. The issue is TIME. Normally ordering team suits can be done one of two ways; placing individual orders or placing a bulk order. Due to the early time selection of the Masters meet this year, we made arrangements with the vendor for individual CMSC swimmers to directly order the swim suits from the vendor at a TEAM discount rate. And the swim suit vendor also allowed us to pick two types of racing suits for females and two types of racing suits for males and a training suit for males at a TEAM discount rate. Get the team logo/graphics on the suit requires the following: Placing the bulk team order, the team would have to place a bulk order of over 75 suits, a team sizing session after a workout, an order period, normally 7-10 days, and collecting all of the orders, money, and keep track of suits sizes. Once the order is placed with the swim suit vendor it takes at least 3 weeks to get the suits with logos back to the team.

Q. Would there have been an additional cost for a team logo.
A. Yes, an additional cost to each suit between $8.00-10.00. This year we would not be able to get all the orders in and get the graphics on the suit in time for the spring meet. It might be an option for next year. I know a few swimmers have already sent me emails explaining that a team suit is no good without a team logo and they are disappointed. I apologize for not starting the process of negotiations with a swim suit vendor earlier. A team suit is not a requirement to swim in the meet or be part of the CMSC team. What this team suit offer's is an opportunity to get a quality swim suit at a team discount. I know swim suits are expensive but I also know that swim suits wear out. I hope everyone will take advantage of this offer and get a team swim suit at a team discount.
