We are excited to be partnering with Vivos this season for our club wardrobe needs. This Edmonton based; family run company produces high-quality products. The Edmonton Auroras are proud to support this local business, especially in such unprecedented times. Please remember that we do not make money off these mandatory wardrobe items -we purchase the best quality we can afford so that these items have some longevity for our athletes. Check out the Vivos website for all the mandatory and swag gear!

The club will be sizing the athletes at the pool in their designated cohorts once a kit for our new club suits arrives. Please stay tuned for a date for sizing, and please don't hesitate to reach out if you would like your child to try on any other suit to purchase at this time, such as a black figure suit, older club suit, etc. (Rosalyn at wardrobe@aurorasynchro.org). Due to Covid restrictions and lack of a change room, we will not allow the athletes to try on suits at the fall welcome or to take them home to try at this time.

We are happy to be continuing with the wardrobe recycling program that has been taking place the past couple of years. Things will be done a bit differently to facilitate an easier and more efficient way to view, sell and purchase previously used items among members. An online Edmonton Aurora SWAP page will be available to all members past and present on Facebook. This private group will serve as a safe place to swap, sell, and purchase items that pertain to our club and the sport of Artistic Swimming. More details on how to join and take part in this group to come!
