WAY FUNKY SCRATCHY ELITE SQUAD BACKPACK
Blue/Black/White
The ultimate backpack for training and competition.
The Way Funky Scratchy Elite Squad Backpack is built to handle everything the pool demands. Up to 40L capacity with multiple segments including a fabric-lined goggles compartment and a waterproof base compartment for shoes and wet towels. A mesh compartment and cooler bag zip pocket keep drinks and food cool, while the large main section includes a dedicated laptop pocket. Comfortable padded back panel and shoulder straps with chest strap provide postural support through every commute to the pool. Everything you need, exactly where you need it.
3 Key Features
Smart Organisation
Multiple dedicated segments mean every piece of kit has its place. The fabric-lined goggles compartment protects lenses from scratches, while the large main section keeps training essentials neatly separated. No more rummaging at the poolside.
Waterproof Base Compartment
The sealed base compartment is designed specifically for wet towels and shoes after training, keeping moisture away from the rest of your gear. It is a practical solution that every regular pool-goer will appreciate. Pack up quickly after your session without worrying about damp spreading.
All-Day Comfort and Support
The padded back panel and shoulder straps are built to distribute load evenly on the way to and from the pool. A chest strap adds postural support when the bag is fully loaded. Whether you are heading to a morning squad session or a full competition day, this bag carries the weight comfortably.

Why Buy from Allens Swimwear?
A Family Business Built on Swimming Since 1976
Allens Swimwear is a family-run business founded in 1976 by Dennis Allen and his daughter Linda Beal. It started from a genuine need. “With 2 swimmers in the family it was often difficult to find the right kit, so dad and I took the plunge and started selling to local swimmers at our local pool in Kingsbury out of a suitcase and we’ve never looked back.” Today, Linda, her husband Richard, and three of their children Danny, Will and Jenna still run the business together. The suitcase may be long gone, but the founding principle of helping swimmers get the right kit remains exactly the same.
