Hello SSC Parents & Swimmers,
Thank you for your cooperation this past week with our unusual practice schedule. Looking ahead to next week there will be some additional practice schedule changes due to the IMX Travel Meet. Please review all in detail below.
Additionally, we had a very positive turnout for entries at our upcoming February Freeze meet. In reviewing the meet timelines, it was revealed that we are way past the allotted time to run this meet with the inclusion of the 500 Freestyle Entries from SSC. That being said, so many of our SSC athletes are close to qualifying for Silvers, Age Group Champs and the AGTC in the 500 Freestyle so we will be SWIMMING THE 500 YARD FREESTYLE ON THURSDAY, 02/02, AT SACHEM EAST in a Time Trial meet.
If you are currently entered in the 500 Freestyle for Feb Freeze, you will be automatically entered in the time trial on Thursday 02/02 for that event. If you CANNOT ATTEND this Thursday Time Trial, please email [email protected] ASAP. We will be updating the entry lists in an informational email this coming week.
If you have any questions about this, please do not hesitate to ask!
Too Long, Didn’t Read (TLDR):
- Weekly Practice Schedule (Some Schedule Changes)
- SSC Team Events (Meet Chart & Entries Updated, NEW HEAT Sports Info)
- Merch, Gear, Promotional Content
Thanks,
-Coach Kyle

Group Reminds
All parents and swimmers are encouraged to join your respective group's 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.

TEAM Promotions & BOD Updates
1 - DMC Fins
Please take advantage of our 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.
