Our coach gave us an offer to buy swim parka's through the team. Pricing is around $100 and a little more for your name on it. Do you guys think it is worth it to buy one or is it just a cool idea but isn't really worth the price?

I bought a parka in April, 2007. Since then I have commented repeatedly that it was one of the best purchases I've ever made.
I originally bought it to take to Nationals in Seattle. It was great for wearing on the deck between events. It also served as my coat when I took a ferry to Bainbridge Island.
Last winter I used it A LOT for swim practices. I swim at a pool that is covered by an air-supported, fabric dome in the winter. It's heated but the air temperature is very unpredictable (sometimes in the 60s, sometimes in the 80s). There were many workouts when I was grateful to have the parka just to wear while walking from the pool to the locker room.
