We have a newly formed youth swim team for ages 6-18 and we're looking for any input or suggestions on where to obtain the equipment we need to practice and hold meets at our facility. For example, we're looking to obtain starting blocks, lane lines, storage reels, kick boards, pull buoys, fins, PA system, starting system, etc.
We have very little funding so used equipment would be fine for us.
Any ideas or suggestions would be very much appreciated!
Thanks for helping our kids out! :)

kick boards, pull buoys, fins, hand paddles fins, swim bags, ... are training equipment that each swimmer should acquire
A swim team or swimmers don't have to have paddles, buoys, boards to practice. You can start your team with the basic swimming equipment...suits, goggles, and caps.
As your team gets more funds, if you want to purchase other equipment then do so. For now, have the swimmers just get those 3 basic items.
