Weekly Update 03/21 - 03/27
Hey Team,
This week is off with a Bang! Beginners sessions have started and our youngest members have had a great start! Developmental Stroke Clinics are back underway and it is great to see some new faces in the Developmental Group! A huge congratulations to our 8 and under swimmers who competed yesterday at the TVSC 8 & Under championship meet. We had unbelievably fast swims, many heat winners, many best times, and a huge shoutout to Rebecca Viollis and Brooke Makarewicz on finishing first overall in several of their individual events! Our next generation of SSC swimmers are going to be record breakers, that is for sure!!!
Please review all of the upcoming events and practice information below. Please note that Coach Kyle will be traveling with Senior Swimmer Samantha Watson to Sectionals next weekend. Please take the time to congratulate Sam on qualifying for such a prestigious event!
Let’s go SSC!!!

FITTER & FASTER STROKE CLINICS - Letter and information
Many of you have reached out regarding sign up for our upcoming Fitter and Faster event. In the interest of transparency, we haven't posted the links as we have been waiting on final approvals for the pool use during these times by the school district. We are still currently awaiting the last approval but are confident that it will come in shortly and are therefore opening up the registration for this event. Please note that this registration is subject to final approvals by the district and we will notify you when those come in!
Anyone looking to register for this clinic, please note that the clinics will be a bit more advanced than those offered earlier in the year (Fall). I would recommend that swimmers with BB or better qualifying times consider this event. I would highly recommend this to our Senior and Junior Swimmers as well.
Any questions, please let me know!
The below information is time-sensitive to ensure that most people on our team can take advantage…

Recommended Personal Equipment & Gear by Group
Attached to this email is a pdf with clickable links to various pieces of recommended personal training equipment. We understand that many may not have the resources to purchase all of this equipment and that is OK. We have some equipment at each of our facilities that can be borrowed whenever needed. This is all recommended equipment as each suggested item was selected based on durability and practicality and each piece of equipment allows for some nuance in training skills and can be used for stroke corrections. Use of this equipment is at the discretion of the group head coaches and will be prescribed accordingly.
If you wish to purchase any of these items, have any questions about additional pieces of equipment not on this list, or have any questions in general, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
Thanks,
Coach Kyle
