So, It Turns Out Being A Speedo Team Is Not Such A Great Deal

So far, at least.  Now that the children and the team are getting just a bit more results and recognition, the brand new shiny first-season head coach lobbied hard to have the team sign on the dotted line with Speedo.  Now we're in it for four years, but as this first year is going full-on now, the kids hate the suits compared with the previous brand's plain, sleek, slippery, much-less-expensive racing suits, the bags are not as nice as the old ones for actual swim meets and swimming paraphernalia, and the warm ups and accessories are nothin' special.  The fit of the suits is an especially bad sign--boys are easy; a jammer's a jammer at this level--the girls have mostly hated it, and we are long past the point when they were supposed to have become accustomed to the new fit.  They were very expensive as well, and look cheap.  Brilliant.
