SSC WEEKLY UPDATE 03/06 - 03/12
Hello SSC Parents & Swimmers,
Congratulations to all of our swimmers who competed in last weekend’s Silvers Championship meet! We had many PB’s and quite a few additional cut times were earned for next weekend’s AGTC and MAGC (Formerly Junior Olympics) meets!
We have posted some additional information and entry reports for these meets. Please be sure to review the ENTRY REPORT attached to the meet as a pdf. This is not the same thing as declaring commitment on TU or Meet Mobile heets. You must look at the ENTRY REPORT on our website which is attached to the meet calendar posting!
Please also take a look at the events on this week’s practice schedule and in the events section of this week’s weekly update as we have added some events in the coming week(s) for review!
Beginners/Beginner Plus - We will be offering a make up practice in place of yesterday’s canceled practice schedule. The make up practice information is posted below on our practice schedule. We apologize for this inconvenience!
MAGC/AGTC Swimmers - Please see the updated Meet Entry Reports below in the meet chart! There are many changes included (RELAY SCRATCHES)!
Thank you all as always for your continued support, and patience with our fluctuating practice schedules. We are excited to be moving into Spring with some more consistency in the schedule!
Thanks again,
Coach Kyle
Announcement by Coach Rob: On the weekend of March 4-5, I am going to attempt the 4x4x48 challenge, running 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours. This annual challenge started by David Goggins, is designed to challenge oneself while at the same time raising money for charity.
I will be attempting this and I would ask if inclined, please donate to this gofundme page to help raise education money for the family of my friend Todd Rowley. We lost Todd too soon and the Long Island running community is mourning this loss.

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.
