Additional information
I am someone of a more female masculine background and I wondered in the kit list I read up you have to wear skirts and a blouse for training arrival day and parade. Is this still so? Or are we able to wear trousers in addition. As well as this are females able to wear swimming trunks with T-shirt

Hello, the short answer is, yes.
Please arrive to training wearing trousers if that makes you more comfortable.
I cannot see any problems with you wanting to wear trunks and a Tshirt for swimming either.
