How to Purchase Equipment & Apparel

• Red Raider Aquatics is proud to be sponsored by A3 Performance. Our partnership with A3 Performance gives Red Raider Aquatics families access to high-quality swimming equipment, team suits, and exclusive team pricing through our private Team Store. All required practice equipment (except water bottles) and team suits should be purchased through our official team partner, A3 Performance.
• Team caps and shirts are ordered directly through Red Raider Aquatics.

👉 Below you'll find everything you need to know about purchasing Red Raider Aquatics equipment, apparel, team suits, caps, and spirit wear.

Team Suits - All swimmers must have a team suit to compete in meets. We suggest the swimmers NOT wear their team suits in practice as they will wear out quickly with daily use. Swimmers are encouraged to order an A3 practice suit specifically for use during practice.

Required Equipment by Practice Group:

• Springfield Site – Click HERE

• Bloomington/Normal Site – Click HERE

New swimmers do not need to have all of the required equipment on their first day. We recommend purchasing the required equipment within the first few weeks after joining the team. If you have any questions about what equipment your swimmer needs, please don't hesitate to ask one of our coaches. We're always happy to help!
