In order for any individual to access the facilities at this new location, they must print and fill out the attached waiver form or click here to do the same.
If you are in Seniors, Advanced, Novice, Beginners, or Beginner Plus and plan on swimming, you must sign the waiver to enter the facilities.
All other athletes in Juniors and Developmental will not be required to do so.
Please reference the practice schedule for the week of 02/20 - 02/26 by clicking here, and remember to pay attention to the weekly update and to your group remind notifications for any additional information or potential changes.

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.

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