This is acceptable Club uniform at Junior Carnival, Junior League and local Club meet level. This basic uniform must be worn to and from all local swim meets as well as being worn poolside between swimmers events. All registered swimmers competing at Canterbury Championship level and above, or at ‘away' swim meets, must wear full team uniform to, from and at all of these Meets.
