Side by Side

Old Way vs. Your New Pro Shop Way

Same three problems. Two very different answers.

Old Way

$2K to $5K

Bulk-Order Gamble

Inventory from past orders still in your office
XS, S, XL sit in the bin for months
Pieces go missing. You give the rest away

Your Pro Shop

$0 UPFRONT

No Inventory Ever

Member orders one, we print one
Zero cash tied up. Zero boxes to store
Profit hits your dashboard, not a bin

Old Way

3 WEEKS

To Reorder Anything

24, 36 or 48-piece minimums per color
Charged per color, per placement, per design
Sold out of sizes or colors swimmers want
Can't say yes without $2K + 3 weeks

Your Pro Shop

~1 WEEK

Door to Door

No minimums. Order 1 or 100, same price
Unlimited colors, designs, placements
Swimmers pick size and color at checkout
USA printed and shipped free to their door

Old Way

2 WASHES

Until It's Cardboard

Print cracks, shirt stiffens, color fades
Swimmers stop wearing it
You and the coaches reach for other brands

Your Pro Shop

50+ WASHES

Still Soft

Premium blanks: Bella+Canvas, Champion, Sport-Tek
Soft on day 1, soft after 50 washes
Coaches reach for the club hoodie, not the other brand

Why It Works

Curated for your swimmers and lane leaders. Zero guesswork.

We pick the season's best. You focus on what you do best.

Club Coach Reviews

Hear from masters swimming club coaches and captains running this today.

Quality, sizing, time. The three things every owner wants to know about, answered by the clubes already running their apparel through us.

Mike R.

Club Coach · 75 swimmers

Q: DO THE DECK PARKAS AND MEET HOODIES HOLD UP TO TRAVEL MEET WEEKENDS?

"Coach a masters swimming club, sixty swimmers across sprint, distance and open water. Bulk-printed meet tees pilled by the second travel weekend. Champion hoodies and Bella+Canvas tees through the Pro Shop held the club logo through chlorine deck days, travel meet hotels and weekly washes. Swimmers wore the meet hoodie at every airport, every locker room and every breakfast room across Nationals weekend. Free club marketing across every chapter."

Jenna T.

Head Coach · 182 swimmers

Q: A NEW SWIMMER JOINED IN MID-SEASON AND NEEDS A LADIES 2XL BY MEET DAY.

"Masters swimming clubs add swimmers year-round. New swimmer joined in October, wanted a ladies cut and a 2XL the bulk-print order never covered. Used to over-order and end up with extras in the club office. Now every swimmer picks ladies cut, mens cut, XS through 4XL and color at checkout. Late signups still get their masters swimming shirt and meet hoodie to the door before next meet weekend."

Ryan K.

Club Director · 330 swimmers

Q: I COACH THE CLUB AND SWIM ON A RELAY. WHO BUILDS THE STORE?

"Coach plus relay swimmer, full-time job on top. No bandwidth to design tees, write product pages or run a print order. Done-For-You plan built the entire masters swimming club apparel shop: club tees, relay drops, sprint and distance crews, open water gear, meet hoodies, coach polos. I send the club logo once a month. Swimmers thought we hired a real club merchandising team. Cleared real profit by USMS Nationals."

Club Coach & Captain Questions

The questions we get asked most

Can we print our masters swimming club name, USMS chapter and event-year art on custom masters swimming apparel?+

Yes. Every masters swimming shirt, masters swimming sweatshirt, hoodie, embroidered polo and embroidered hat supports your masters swimming club name, USMS chapter, event-year art, meet callouts, sponsor stack and "established" year. Custom masters swimming apparel, masters swimming gear, US masters swimming apparel and meet-day tees all in one branded club shop. Unlimited design elements on one side, no per-color fee.

Do you make competition tech suits, swim caps, goggles, racing jammers or kickboards?+

No on competition tech suits, latex and silicone swim caps, racing goggles, technical jammers and kickboards. Those are swim-specialty equipment from a swim-gear vendor with race-rule compliance. What we do best: branded masters swimming apparel for the deck and around the club. Masters swimming shirts, masters swimming sweatshirts, lightweight training tees, deck parkas, meet-day hoodies, embroidered Sport-Tek warm-up polos, Champion crewnecks, masters swimming gear for travel meet days and embroidered Yupoong and Otto Cap hats.

Can we run a club-team shop, masters relay drops, meet weekend tees and coach gear in one masters swimming apparel shop?+

Yes. Your shop is one branded club URL, organized into sections: Club Members, Relay Teams, Sprint Crew, Distance Crew, Open Water, Coaches, Meet Tees, USMS Nationals, Anniversary Drops. Each meet weekend, each relay or each masters swimming event gets its own collection. Coaches grab a deck-side embroidered polo. Swimmers and supporters check out themselves with size and color.

Can swimmers order their own masters swimming shirts and meet hoodies directly without me running a sign-up at practice?+

That is the whole point. Drop your masters swimming shop link in the club GroupMe, the lane-line email chain, the USMS chapter newsletter or the club Instagram bio. Swimmers, coaches and supporters check out themselves with size and color. Masters swimming shirts, masters swimming sweatshirts, deck parkas and embroidered hats ship to each home free in about a week. You never collect cash at the lane wall or count shirts at the next practice again.

Will the masters swimming tees, sweatshirts and embroidered polos hold up to pool chlorine, travel meet weekends and weekly washes?+

Yes. Premium athletic blanks. Bella+Canvas, Sport-Tek moisture-wicking, Next Level, Champion hoodies, Independent Trading Co. crewnecks and Sport-Tek embroidered polos. Real club-grade masters swimming apparel, not the stiff cotton tee from a generic catalog. Swimmers wear them through pool decks, locker room moisture, travel meet days and weekly washes. Print holds, embroidery stays sharp. Pull a few samples at base price first and feel the difference.

We already use Custom Ink or SwimOutlet team store for masters swimming team shirts. Why switch?+

Three reasons most masters swimming clubs switch within a month. Shipping: theirs charges $8 to $10 per order, hidden. Ours is free, every order. Fees: theirs charges per color, per placement, per design. Ours is one flat base price, unlimited colors. Permanence: theirs is bulk-order per meet per season, then dead. Ours is a permanent masters swimming club apparel shop at your URL year-round, ready for the next meet weekend, USMS Nationals, the open water swim, the relay challenge and next season.

Do I pay anything when a swimmer orders? What about coach polos and USMS Nationals meet gear?+

Zero cost when a swimmer orders. They pay the retail price you set. Your $8 to $16 profit lands directly in your club dashboard. The rest covers our base price for printing, packing, and free USA shipping. For coach polos, lane-leader polos and meet-staff tees, build a Coaches & Staff section and self-order at base price. For USMS Nationals meet gear and travel-meet hoodies, drop a meet-specific collection with higher retail markup and let profit fund the next travel meet.
