State Swim & Dive Stuff No One Tells You About

If your son wants to get a State t-shirt or hoodie, send them with money and encourage them to purchase it as soon as they get to Topeka. Last year, they sold out on the first day. Prices are as follows.

  • Short-Sleeve T-Shirt (Navy) – $19
  • Long-Sleeve T-Shirt (Graphite Heather) – $22
  • Hooded Sweatshirt – $30
  • State Programs – $3
  • Finals Programs – $3

There is next to nothing around the Topeka-Capitol Federal Natatorium for food or snacks. There is a concession stand at the pool, but lunch options are slim. If you need snacks, I’d suggest packing a few and bringing them in your car.
