Swimming is a sport of efficiency, not pure strength. At JackRabbit, we focus on the tools and techniques to help make you a more comfortable, streamlined swimmer. We start with a wide selection of swimsuits for men and women of all shapes and sizes. When you come to us for goggles, we encourage you to try them on to make sure you get a good, watertight fit without needing to make the strap uncomfortably tight. And we keep a wide selection of training tools like hand-paddles, fins, pull-buoys, kickboards, resistance bands and drag suits. Top it off with a big selection of swim caps and you're set to start swimming.

Triathletes usually race in wetsuits, which are the most expensive piece of equipment in the sport when you consider how much time you actually use them. We have selected two different brands of wetsuits, each of which fits differently. Our staff is trained to help you pick the right size in each brand, to help you determine which brand fits you better, and to help you decide whether you'll be satisfied with the basic level wetsuits or whether an upgrade will help your swim segment and leave you in better shape for the bike and run.

We encourage everyone to test a wetsuit before you buy by taking advantage of our rental program. You pay $75 to rent an entry level suit for the weekend (Thurs through Tues). For up to two weeks afterwards, you can apply that $75 towards the purchase of any wetsuit. Many of the suits in our rental program are brand new, so many people just pay the balance and keep the suit they rented. Others rent an entry level suit to ensure they're getting the right size in a higher end suit. Others who are between sizes will rent one size to decide if it fits, and if not they purchase the other size. And if you're only planning to do one race this year, by all means rent a wetsuit and save your money instead of buying one!

Our swim training programs are one of our most popular offerings. We focus on training people to swim long distances comfortably, since distance swimming is the best route to overall fitness and is an essential component of triathlon. The swim program is divided into three levels, and within those levels we subdivide swimmers into differently paced lanes - so everyone has an opportunity to learn to swim better without pressure to simply swim harder.
