Weekly Message From Head Coach Kyle
Hello team,
Happy Easter to all those who celebrate and Happy Spring Break to all of those who are off this week! We are observing a slightly shorter week in light of the spring break to get a little rest and relaxation and some family time heading into our season closer, Counties!
In light of the shortened week, if you are unable to make a practice and would like to train with another one of our groups, please let me and your group head coach know and we may be able to make accommodations for you!
Below are some meet updates for you all to review heading into the long course season (Summer). I cannot stress this enough... if you are confused about the rules around meets and meet entry, please contact me and I will walk you through the meet calendar over the phone!

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
