Custom Swim Team Towels

Custom swim team towels with every swimmer's name

The usual team towel keeps one shared design, with your logo and team colors, and changes only the name from one towel to the next. Send your list of names (and numbers) with your quote request; every name shows on the free proof, so you can check each spelling before anything prints.

• Logo above, name below: the classic team look, identical on every towel except the name.
• Name along the bottom edge: easy to read when towels hang side by side on a fence or over a row of chairs.
• Name and cap number: for water polo players, or teams that number their swimmers.
• Coach and captain towels: the same design with "COACH" or "CAPTAIN" where the name goes.

Keep names short and large. A first name reads across a pool deck; on a roster with two swimmers called Sam, add a last initial or switch to last names for the whole team.

There's no minimum on a named team order, so a relay squad, the coaching staff or a full summer league roster can each be its own order, and volume pricing for a bigger roster is part of the quote.

Many team-towel suppliers sell printed swim towels in matching sets of 12, or ask for 12 or more per design.

Prices follow the method. Jacquard-woven team towels commonly run about $42 to $44 or more each, embroidered towels about $35, screen-printed towels about $15 to $26 depending on quantity and design, and sublimated full-color towels about $16 to $30.

We print team towels with dye sublimation: the design is dyed into the polyester face of a towel with a 100% cotton back, printed on one side. That's what makes full-color logos and a different name on every towel possible with no minimum. A woven towel is the better pick for a team that wants a heavy all-cotton towel with the design on both sides, the same for every swimmer, and orders enough to meet the minimum.

Compare offers by the cost per swimmer, not only the price per towel: a set minimum can mean paying for towels nobody on the roster uses. With no minimum and no setup fees, your quote is for the exact count you need.

Embroidery is available on our cotton towels by quote, for a stitched logo or a short list of names; our embroidery vs printing guide compares the two. For how polyester, cotton and microfiber towels feel and dry, see our guide to beach towel materials.

Towels for practice, meets and swim lessons

Competitive swimmers often carry two towels: a small, thin towel or a shammy for between races and a full-size towel for the deck, the bleachers and the ride home. A custom team towel is usually the big one, a 30 × 60 by quote. For a name-only towel from our shop, size it to the swimmer: 22 × 42 inches for younger swimmers, 30 × 60 for teens and adults.

• Practice: a name on every towel ends the pile of identical towels in the lost-and-found bin.
• Meets and championships: matching towels make the team easy to spot on a crowded deck; on shop towels, Premium 450 GSM is the heavier choice and Standard 360 GSM is lighter to carry.
• Dryland training: a 16 × 32 gym towel with the team logo, made by quote like our other custom logo towels.
• Swim lessons and camps: a swim school can give each swimmer a towel with their name at the end of a session, from a class list sent with the quote request.

For a handful of swimmers without a team logo, shop towels such as our Chevron Name design take each name online.

Comparing towel sizes for kids and adults? Our beach towel size guide has the chart.

Chlorine is hard on any towel, so a rinse in fresh water after practice is common advice, and washing should follow the care label. Our guide to washing beach towels covers drying, smells and keeping them soft.

End-of-season, senior and coach towels

A towel is an easy end-of-season gift because swimmers use it again the next season. Pass them out at the banquet, give each senior one at their last home meet, and thank the coaches and volunteers who ran the season with a towel of their own.

• Banquet towels: the season's design with the team name, one at every place setting.
• Senior towels: the senior's name and the years they swam with the team, such as 2023–2027.
• Championship towels: the season's result, such as a conference title, for the swimmers who were there.
• Coach and volunteer thank-yous: the coach's name on the team design, or a thank-you towel for the timers and parent volunteers.

Gift towels can ride along with a regular team order or go in as their own quote; with no minimum, eight senior towels are an order on their own. Towels arrive without gift wrap or cards in the box, so plan bags or ribbons for the banquet table yourselves.

Towel timing depends on the towel and the quantity and is confirmed in your quote, so put the date of your first meet or banquet in the request. Each order ships to one address, so plan to hand towels out at practice rather than mailing them to families.

The logo can come as a 300 DPI PNG instead of a vector file. No team logo yet? Our team can help a club create one; mention it when you ask for the quote.

Team store and fundraiser towels

If your club runs a team store, towels fit next to the caps and parkas. Order a stock run in the team design at volume pricing to sell at meets, or sell made-to-order towels online through our print-on-demand towels, which are arranged with our team rather than through an automatic store connection.

Clubs that buy towels wholesale to resell get the same volume pricing as other shops. Raising money with towels? Pre-sales, pricing and collecting orders are covered in our guide to blanket and towel fundraisers. High school teams that want spirit or rally towels for the whole school can start with our custom school towels page.

Order towels for your swim team

Send your logo, your roster and the date of your first meet or banquet, and you'll hear back within one business day with per-towel pricing and timing. There's no minimum, and you'll check every swimmer's name on a free proof before printing.
