About SSC

Mission Statement 
Our Program encourages swimmers to reach their full potential and develop essential life skills while having fun! 

Team Philosophy 
The team philosophy of Southeastern Swim Club is encompassed in the words "the team is greater than the sum of its individuals." We believe that the team falls apart when successes are hoarded and failures are blamed. We believe that every member, no matter how humble, is an important part of the team. We believe that praise begins by praising others. We believe that if you want support, you must first support others. We believe that disputes must be handled privately. We believe that if you want to succeed, you must first help someone else succeed. 

Club History 
Southeastern Swim Club was formed as USA Swimming club in 1989 by Dan Johnson, who then coached both the women’s and men’s swim teams at Hamilton Southeastern High School. He originally founded the club to augment the off-season training of his high school teams and then decided to expand the club to include age-group swimming based on the belief that competitive swimming offers an exciting and worthwhile experience in a young person’s life. In the summer of 1993, Andy Pedersen was hired as the head coach of SSC and continues in that position today. Under Andy’s leadership, Southeastern Swim Club has grown and prospered to a team of over 300 swimmers!! Don’t let our large size fool you; every swimmer at SSC has close access to the professional coaching staff. Our coach to swimmer ratio typically averages 15:1!!
