[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone else’s kids hate the TYR suites? Most of my swimmer’s group is holding onto their Speedos as long as they can. [/quote]

We're not with NCAP, but are these practice suits that they are being encouraged to race in, or is the team branding the tech suits?[/quote]

NCAP is now sponsored by Tyr.  Assuming the requirements are similar to the Speedo sponsorship in prior years (my kid has since graduated so I haven't seen the handbook for this year), it means NCAP swimmers must wear Tyr suits at top level meets like KLI, Zones, PVS Champs, etc. unless granted an exception based on a professional fitting with a company rep.  For practices and "lower level" meets (Opens, Turkey Claus, and the like) swimmers can wear whatever brand they want although I'm sure Tyr is preferred and the outfitting package for certain groups includes a Tyr suit meant for racing.[/quote]

I’m not sure what question you’re responding to, but that’s not what PP asked.[/quote]

I reread my response, and I did answer PPs questions...I just did it badly.  PP asked "are these practice suits that they are being encouraged to race in" and I pointed out that NCAP swimmers can practice in any brand, and can wear any brand to race as long as it isn't a championship level meet.  There is no team "practice suit"...our location was very clear that the branded suit included in the 12U outfitting package was specifically NOT to be worn to practice and most of DCs group didn't race in them either.  PP also asked "or is the team branding the tech suits" and I'm not exactly sure what was meant by "branding"...if PP meant requiring Tyr brand then yes, I pointed out that being the case for certain meets but not all.  If PP meant "branding" with an NCAP logo on the suit, then no, you can buy one from SwimOutlet, Metro Swim, or any other source you prefer as long as it meets the requirements for the meet your swimmer is attending.
