SSC WEEKLY UPDATE 0130 - 0205
Hello SSC Parents & Swimmers,
Greetings from Maryland! Thanks to all who assisted in helping us to cut down on our timeline for next weekend’s Feb Freeze Meet! We are still tight on timelines and will be removing all 8 & Under athletes from the 100-yard breaststroke event in order to reduce our timeline adequately. There will be future opportunities for 8&Unders to swim this event!
If you have not already done so, please review the previous Feb Freeze email update for information on entries, changes, etc.
This Sunday we will be holding another HEAT Sports Dryland Clinic. We are currently very light so please take advantage of the opportunity to work out at the gym and build some sport-specific fitness!
Please review this week’s update in detail and let us know if you have any questions.
PS - the LIE Second Chance meet will be the last opportunity to qualify for many of the upcoming championships meets. Please email [email protected] if you’d like to be entered in this meet as the deadline has already passed.
Too Long, Didn’t Read (TLDR):
- Weekly Practice Schedule (Meet Week - See Schedule)
- SSC Team Events (Last Chance - HEAT Sports, Save the Date - Lifeguard Certification Course, Feb Freeze Athlete Photography)
- Merch, Gear, Promotional Content
Thanks,
-Coach Kyle
SSC Practice Schedule Week of 01/20 - 02/05

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.
