Weekly Update 07/25 - 07/31
Hello Team,
I would like to start this week’s message with a huge thank you to my SSC Family for the wonderful and thoughtful surprise party you threw for Brenna and I and for all of the generous gifts! Thank you to the SSC Board for putting everything together. Brenna and I are so happy to have such a wonderful support base here at SSC. This truly is a part of our family and I am so so grateful for each and every one of you! I especially appreciate the trouble that you all went through to keep that a secret and I appreciate that you all wanted to celebrate my wife and me and the extension of our family! We are so excited for little Isla to arrive. She is one spoiled little girl already!
Another special shout out to all of our Junior Olympic Swimmers on a great meet!!!
Sadly, this week marks the end of our regular Long Course season, but it will be jam packed with some fun times before a much needed break for all!
Please take a moment to check out the recent messages from our SSC Board relating to the awards dinner and the upcoming swim season. I am already excited to celebrate a great year with you all, and I am looking forward to a great start to our next Short Course Season!
Thanks again all!
Coach Kyle

Fall Beginner and Beginner Plus Information:
Dear SSC Beginner and Beginner Plus Parents,
With the Summer Season at its end, we would like to take a moment to thank you all for making this Summer Season so much fun! We appreciate all of you that returned for another season, and we look forward to having many of you with us for our Fall Season as well!
I would like to review some important information regarding upcoming events and some information that you may all want to review before our season comes to an end and the Summer season begins.
1 - Beginner/Beginner Plus Fall Season: Registration for the Fall Season will open on August 17th.
- A registration link will be provided once registration opens on 08/17/22.
- This Fall 2022 Season is Currently Subject to Change with Pricing, Location, and Schedule. We will be issuing a full announcement in the coming week that will notify all current and prospective Beginner & Plus Members of these updates.
2 - Summer Season Open House: Tryouts for NEW members will be held on 08/17/22 at The Holtsville Ecology Center Pool from 6:15 - 8:00pm. If you have younger siblings, cousins, friends, etc interested in joining, please spread the word and have them come down for a tryout. If you are unable to make the Open House, please email Coach Kyle at [email protected] to arrange a separate tryout time. If you are a returning member, you do not need to attend.
3- Move Ups: All move ups will be assessed and emailed to you directly from Coach Kyle & Coach Kim. If your Swimmer is moving up from Beginner to Beginner Plus, you will be notified directly prior to the start of the new season. If your athlete is moving up from Beginner Plus to Developmental, you will be notified directly before the start of the new season. If there are any issues regarding a move up or any confusion regarding parent duties in moving up from BG+ to Developmental, please feel free to contact Coach Kyle to ask questions! We are here to help and make these transitions as smooth as possible. If you do not receive a move-up email, please register for the same group that you were already assigned. If you accidentally register for the incorrect group or register before receiving a move up email, we will manually edit your account to accommodate the change.
Group Reminds
All parents and swimmers are encouraged to join your respective group remind class. We will share things with the group like cut times, weekly updates, reminders, and swimming content to help keep everyone up to date and expand on our communications as a program. Many athletes already have this app set up for their school assignments! Swimmers under 17 must have parental supervision when communicating directly to a class owner.
