Every neighborhood pool will begin forming a swim team in May of each year. Each swim team will belong to a swim organization that will monitor the progress of teams throughout the summer months. This organization will have guidelines in place that will dictate the type of swimwear that will need to be worn by all participants at every swimming meet.
Various colors will be assigned by the swim organization for use as team colors. These colors will be incorporated into the swimwear selections that are worn by each team. The swimsuits will also have a team mascot or logo assigned that represents the team in some way. One neighborhood swim team might be named the gators and have an alligator stitched into the material.
The colors used for the team mascot or logo will be stitched in one matching color. The swimsuit color will be the remaining color choice that is assigned by the swim organization at the start of the swimming season. These colors will normally remain the same for as long as the swim team remains a part of that swimming organization. The mascot or logo will usually be professionally embroidered onto various styles of swimwear.
