09/26-10/02 SSC WEEKLY UPDATE (REVISED PRACTICE SCHEDULE SENIOR, JUNIORS, & NOVICE)

Kyle Wilson

Please see the attached schedule for the revised practice schedule this week. We were, unfortunately, unable to secure the earlier time slot at the YMCA for Seniors on Monday and Tuesday and have pushed back the hours. Friday Novice & Juniors had a mistake on the schedule that has been rectified. Please disregard the previous schedule this week and use this one for the coming week.


Thank you for your cooperation and for your understanding. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused and hope to see you all at the pool!


Hello Team,

Special Practice Notes: Beginner/Beginner Plus - Please be sure to review each weekly schedule for any potential changes in location or start times. Although these do not happen frequently, it is important to note when and where you need to be!

 

**Photography/Videotaping at the YMCA: Please note that photographing and videotaping of the athletes while at the YMCA is STRICTLY PROHIBITED. We are a USA Swimming Club who rents the facilities at each of our locations. We often share the pool with the public or other programs at the YMCA during Beginner and Beginner Practices, so please respect the rules of the facility!

 

**Locker Rooms: Parents are STRICTLY PROHIBITED from entering the locker rooms during ANY practice, at ANY of our locations. This is a direct violation of USA Swimming Safe Sport Rules. If your child needs assistance in the locker room, please have them use the single person stalls at the YMCA. If your child needs assistance at the high school pools, you cannot enter the locker rooms.

1a. SSC September Sprint Meet 09/25

Below are some reminders about this weekend and some upcoming meet information to help get things started!

 

PARENTS:

Parent Assignments & Information:

*For questions about this, please contact the SSC Board of Directors - [email protected]*

Parents who have work assignments for the Sept Sprint meet this Sunday 09/25 should report to admissions upstairs at the Nassau County Aquatic Center. Please report there at the start of the General Warm Up of your session(s) for sign in. Please plan to arrive early so that you can be on time for any relevant information and briefings.

 

Parents NOT Working this Meet:

All parents and spectators not given a work assignment for this meet are NOT ALLOWED DOWNSTAIRS for any reason short of an emergency. Parents are never permitted on the pool deck without a work assignment. Parents are NOT ALLOWED in the locker rooms ever for any reason. Please use the restrooms upstairs if needed. There are single-stall restrooms available on the first floor for meet workers. DO not enter the locker rooms during a swim meet or a practice at any location as it is a violation of USA Swimming Safe Sport Rules.

 

Meet Information for Swimmers & Parents:

How to Enter the facilities:

Please see the attached aerial view of the Nassau County Aquatic Center for information on how/where to access the facilities.

When to get to the facility:

Parents/Swimmers are responsible for arriving at the facility 15 minutes before the start of your session’s warm-up time (Listed below and included in the meet itinerary of every single meet). Swimmers must arrive early as there is only one opportunity for warm-up throughout the entire meet. We cannot guarantee that your swimmer will be unable to properly warm up if you are late. This means no starts, no stroke review/practice, and increased risk of injury or poor performance! Warm-up is IMPORTANT and that is why we need your swimmers there on time!

Please note that there are clickable links that will take you to the SSC Meet Calendar page where you can find the relevant attachments for entry lists (this is where you can see what your swimmer is swimming) as well as the meet entry file (this is where you can find locations, times, etc).
