Keeping gear at the pool (squad cages)
A squad cage is available for swimmers to keep gear in if they wish. The squad cage is for swimmers that attend morning sessions. Note that all squad gear is kept in the cage at swimmers own risk. If swimmers are worried about keeping their gear in the cage they should take it home instead.
