April 14, 2025 - Congratulations Athlete Rep Committee on your DEI Award from USA Swimming

Congratuations to the Pacific Swimming Athlete Rep Committee on their award from
USA Swimming for their Tech Suit Up-Cycle Program!

The purpose of the program is to decrease waste by collecting used tech suits and redistributing them to athletes in need. 

What suits are taken:

  • Suits without rips
  • Suits that have not lost their elasticity
  • Tech Suits for both 12 & Unders and 13 & Ups


Collected suits are sanitized and then available for redistribution at a future meet.


Who can get/borrow a suit:

  • Athletes registered with Outreach membership and those in need of financial assistance
  • Athletes who have just aged up and have never had a 13+ tech suit
  • Athletes with unforeseen circumstances like their suit ripping at the meet or have mistakenly forgot their suit at home
  • Athletes who only have a really worn out suit
  • Athletes who want to try on a different brand or model tech suit before buying a new one


Congratulations again to our athletes on helping to cut down on waste and providing others with the opportunity to use a tech suit at a championship meet.
