Swimming Picture Day That Gives Back to Your Booster Club
No cost to the club. Families buy only what they want. The club does not need to find or hire a photographer.
Collect swimming portrait references on a dry, well-lit part of the pool deck before practice, following the facility's phone and photography rules. Keep the phone away from the water and never take reference photos in changing areas.
Season Media Collection details
Planning swimming portraits
A team parka or intended team uniform gives swimmers a clear, comfortable portrait reference without needing an in-water shot. Keep goggles off the eyes so the face is visible, and collect individuals before lane groups begin rather than interrupting sets or meet warm-ups.
How swimming photos get collected
With facility permission, use a dry pool-deck spot before lane assignments; parents can upload a clear team-parka photo instead.
Portraits, ordering and club payout
Elite Team Pictures creates portraits online, then families preview and order directly. 10-15% payout on net family sales, after processing fees and refunds. School payouts go to the booster club after the refund window. Every team gets a complimentary group photo. The Team Showcase Banner is earned at 7 paid family orders. About 2 weeks after artwork approval.
Who coordinates picture day?
At most public schools the booster club plans team and individual photos. Private schools often go through coaches or athletic directors.
