SSC WEEKLY UPDATE 02/06 - 02/12
Hello SSC Parents & Swimmers,
The 2023 SSC Feb Freeze is underway! Thanks to all of our parents who helped fill in the meet work assignments and make this meet possible! It was a big hit with entries and we are proud to see interest in our meets continuing to grow!
Good luck to all SSC athletes swimming tomorrow, and remember to arrive early to each of your meet sessions and check in with your coach when you arrive!
Attention all 8 and under athletes! - As has been done every year, SSC will be attending this year’s 8 and Under Championship meet on March 4th and March 5th at Lehman College! Click Here for additional meet information. This event will be open to all SSC 8 & Under athletes and includes Beginner and Beginner Plus Swimmers 8 & Under. Please make an effort to attend this awesome event and represent SSC! If you have any questions or would like to RSVP tio this meet, please email Coach Kyle at [email protected] ASAP! More information to follow!
HEADS UP ALL GROUPS - 02/20 - 02/26 will be Mid-Winter Recess for the Sachem School District. We will be practicing between the Patchogue YMCA Pool and the newly renovated SafTSwim Pool in Smithtown. We are doing our best to provide the same opportunity to train that we always have, but some schedules may appear different this week. Parents - If you are working that week and have an athlete swimming in Juniors, Advanced, or Seniors, please consider making carpool arrangements for the Sr/Adv early morning practices and for the slightly earlier Jr PM practices so that your athletes can continue to train for Silvers and the remainder of the SCY Season! We will provide an estimated practice schedule for this week a little bit earlier than usual so that everyone can prepare. If anything changes with our projected schedule we will notify you immediately.
Graduating Seniors - If you have not already done so, please send Coach Kyle your email address ASAP.

The Board of Directors and the SSC Coaching Staff would like to thank Coach Mike for his Service and time as a Coach here with Sachem Swim Club and we wish him well in all of his future endeavors.

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.

Discount Code at Checkout: DMCSSD
Current Promotions: Free shipping on all Elite Max and Elite II fins
