Personalizing your Swimsuits, Caps, and Team Apparel

Personalizing your Swimsuits, Caps, and Team Apparel

We provide customization services for apparel, swimsuits, caps, and gear. Based on your team colours and vendor availability, we’ll offer the best options. If your team has a specific brand or sponsorship, we'll collaborate with the vendor to meet all your team's needs.

Please be aware that we currently do not offer customization on racing suits due to their delicate nature. Our custom services are available only for bulk purchases due to minimum order requirements with vendors. We do not offer customization for individual items, nor can we accommodate late or additional custom orders after a team portal deadline.

Size Kits

Size Kits

Request a size kit to accurately measure swimmers during your club's registration days. This is especially important when ordering custom team suits, as they are final sale and cannot be returned or exchanged. Size kits are a complimentary service, and we’ll ship them to you at no cost. However, please note that your team will be responsible for return shipping expenses, as store drop-offs are not accepted; returns must be sent to our warehouse or offices. Since size kits are available on a first-come, first-served basis, we recommend reserving yours about three weeks in advance. TAS can also assist with your club's registration events by providing the necessary equipment and helping size swimmers, depending on your location. Size kits must be returned within 30 days or your team will be billed for the merchandise.

Custom Caps

Custom Caps

Custom swim caps are available in various styles: Latex, Silicone, Wrinkle-Free Racing, Dome, and Water Polo caps. We primarily source from two vendors: one based in Canada and the other in China. The turnaround time is 3-4 weeks from the order date, with rush options available for an additional fee.

Cap Options

The minimum order quantity for latex caps with a single color ink is 36 caps.

Latex swim caps are our most affordable option, made from a thin layer of latex that is highly stretchable and popular among swimmers. With proper care, they can last as long as 6 months. However, they are prone to tearing if caught on metal hair clips, hair bands with metal parts, earrings, or sharp fingernails.

Latex caps are stretchy and generally fit most head sizes, though they can "grab" long hair when being put on or removed, which can be uncomfortable. This becomes less of an issue as swimmers become more experienced in donning swim caps. Because they are nonporous, latex caps can increase body temperature in warm environments by trapping a layer of warm water between the scalp and the cap, insulating the swimmer’s head from the cooling pool water.

It's important to note that some swimmers may have allergic reactions to latex. Proper care involves rinsing the cap in cool water, air drying it, and storing it out of direct sunlight and away from heat, which can cause latex to break down. To prevent the inside surfaces from sticking together, some swimmers stuff a small, dry towel inside the cap or use talc or baby powder, though the latter can cause the cap to slip off more easily.

The minimum order quantity for silicone caps with a single color ink is 25 caps.

Silicone caps are our second most affordable and most popular option, offering top-of-the-line quality. They are super-stretchy, hypoallergenic, and generally more durable than other types of swim caps.


With proper care, silicone caps can last a very long time—some can be used regularly for over three years. While they are still susceptible to punctures from sharp objects, they are more resistant to punctures than latex caps.


Swimmers appreciate silicone caps for their comfort. They conform well to the head without being overly tight or restrictive. Unlike latex caps, silicone caps don't pull on hair as much and are easier to put on.


To maintain a silicone cap, rinse it, air dry it, and store it out of direct sunlight. Placing a small towel inside the cap can help it dry more quickly.

The minimum order quantity for wrinkle-free racing caps with a single color ink is 25 caps.

These caps are also made of silicone but feature a more seamless, wrinkle-free design, making them ideal for competitions. The cost is comparable to standard silicone caps. These are a perfect introduction to a dome cap without paying the high cost.

The minimum order quantity for dome caps with a single color ink is 25 caps.

Traditional latex or silicone caps typically create wrinkles on top of the head, which in turn creates drag. A dome cap eliminates this problem. This type of cap is 3D-molded or formed around the shape of a human head. This is our most expensive option and it is preferred by elite swimmers for their races.

A water polo cap can be ordered with or without a custom logo. Multiple logos can be placed in different locations on the caps. You'll have the option to choose colorways for both home and away games. Each set includes 13 numbered caps, with two red caps designated for goalies. Please note that name customization is not available, and the caps come in one size fits all. You can select from a few limited options for the ear cuff colours.

Customization

For cap colours, basic standard colours are available to choose from. If you need a custom colour, please provide a Pantone number.

We would appreciate it if you could provide a Pantone colour for the ink as well. Glitter ink is available in blue, orange, and red for dark-coloured caps.

3D/All around printing is available for all cap options except latex. Additional costs apply.

Personalizing with names available for latex, silicone, wrinkle-free racing, and dome at an extra cost, with a minimum of 2 caps per name.

Adding different logos on each side also incurs an additional charge.

If your design features a cap replicating the face of an animal, with eyes on the logo that need to face forward, you will need to flip one of the logos horizontally to create the desired effect. Depending on the vendor, this may incur an additional cost.

Pricing is determined by the number of caps ordered and the number of ink colours used. It includes set-up fees and logos on both sides. Rush fees are an additional cost.

Shipping costs are determined once the caps are ready to be shipped, but we can provide you with a quote upon request. Store pick-up is free of charge.

Customization Services

Customization Services

We offer a wide range of custom services for swim team gear and swimsuits, with access to multiple brands. Our top 4 brands are listed below, but many additional options are available including Mizuno, Adidas, Nike, Delfina, Stormtech and more. Please contact us well in advance to check stock availability. We collaborate with third-party embroidery and screening companies to ensure top-quality customization at highly competitive prices. The timeline for customizing products depends on the specific service you choose. Typically, the entire process takes 4-6 weeks after the order is placed, assuming there are no delays due to stock availability from the vendor.

We use a machine that transfers a design onto an imprintable surface. By applying high temperatures and heavy pressure for a set time, the transfer becomes permanently embedded into the product. This process has limited colour customization options. While it doesn’t last as long as silk screen printing, it’s a great option for smaller quantities of customized items.

Recommended for cotton apparel and swimsuits, excluding racing suits. Not suitable for backpacks or parkas.

A printing method that forces ink through a pattern cut into silk or similar fabric stretched across a frame. Ideal for larger quantities, it lasts longer than heat press transfers and has no color limitations. Suitable for clothing and swimsuits, but not recommended for backpacks, parkas, or racing suits. Name customization available.

Embroidery uses needle and thread to create a stitched design, making it the most popular method for customizing backpacks, parkas, track jackets, polos, and heavier garments. Name customization is also available. Embroidery has a one-time set up fee. Suitable for low quantity orders.

Dye-sublimation is available through two of our vendors, Q Swimwear or Delfina. This process involves a computer printer that uses heat to transfer dye onto materials like plastic, card, paper, or fabric. Sublimation is only for swimwear and towels provided by these vendors. This option is perfect for bringing highly creative designs to life. A possible downside is that pilling is more noticeable on sublimated suits, but this is due to the white base colour of the suit.

Speedo

We work closely with Speedo Canada, and stock is typically available within 2 weeks. Be aware that their Super Pro Backs and Flybacks are in high demand for sizes 32 and up. For team suits, patterned designs are often seasonal and may not be repeated the following year, so we recommend opting for solid colors in this case. Speedo apparel, backpacks, and mesh bags are readily available with minimal delays.

Arena

Arena Canada works on a pre-booking system roughly 8 months in advance. Therefore, if your club is interested in Arena, we recommend inquiring 8 months in advance to allow time for sourcing inventory. While Arena swimwear is more readily available, it can also encounter shortages. If Arena Canada has the items in stock, delivery to our warehouse typically takes 2 weeks. If you're an Arena team planning to continue with us for custom gear, we’d appreciate an inventory forecast to share with the vendor in preparation for your next order.

Q Swimwear

This brand specializes in sublimated suits and offers a straightforward setup process. Orders are usually ready in 4 weeks. They provide sublimated swimwear, including water polo and training kneeskins, as well as custom backpacks, towels, shirts, and parkas. You may have noticed our TAS Parkas have a Q logo as Q Swimwear is our current supplier for swim parkas. Q Swimwear is based in Mexico, and we handle all customs and duty fees. Sizing kits are stocked at our warehouse and can be shipped to you upon request.

Gildan

Gildan is a prominent manufacturer of basic apparel, offering a wide selection of products including T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, and activewear. Known for their high-quality and affordable clothing, Gildan is a popular choice for custom printing and embroidery. We can source stock from Gildan for your customization needs, with an estimated arrival time of 2 days to our warehouse.
