 Additional Meet & Event Information

 

1 - SSC Reindeer Games Meet Information *Must Read*

 

PARENTS:

Parent Assignments & Information:

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

Parents who have work assignments for the Reindeer Games Meet on 12/18/22 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 through 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! If you are in a Time Trial, please make sure to be there for the appropriate time trial warm up (SEE CHART BELOW)!

2 - DMC Fins

We have just received a member-exclusive Discount Code from our friends at DMCFins! DMC makes great fins that are some of the best fins out there. They are made with soft materials and wide toe-boxes. The blades are short, wide, and come with a heel strap rather than a boot, which helps with maximizing torque in the water, quad activation, minimizes cramping and foot pain, as well as heps to create a more natural kick. We have had many SSC Swimmers begin using these fins and hope that they are of interest and help to many more.

Discount Code at Checkout: DMCSSD

Current Promotions: Free shipping on all Elite Max and Elite II fins
