SSC WEEKLY UPDATE 02/13 - 02/19
Hello SSC Parents & Swimmers,
I would like to start this week’s email by thanking all of you for your help and support at the February Freeze! Thank you also in advance for your understanding of our fluctuating schedule as our groups change slightly, as we head into the mid-winter break, and as we navigate a new, spring schedule following the boys varsity season completion these next few weeks.
Separately, I would like to take a moment to thank Coach Mike for his many years of work with SSC and wish him well with all of his future endeavors! Coach Mike completed his last practice with SSC today, February 11th.
Over the next two weeks, we will be adjusting the schedules and staff and will be announcing a few changes to accommodate the new Novice staff as well as the end of the Sachem Boys Varsity program. Please be on the look for these adjustments in our weekly practice schedules and please let us know if you have any questions at all!
In case you missed it, here is a link to the latest Championship Meet informational email that went out this week: Click Here
Please note that there has been a change in plans for the 8&Under Championship meet and we will no longer be attending the meet at Lehman College. Instead, we will be attending a more local, 1-day meet hosted by TVSC on 03/18. More information about this meet has been updated in the link above.

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
