The focus of SSC is to have fun, to promote water safety, and to develop and improve the ability and technique of the 4 basic strokes of competitive swimming (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly). While not mandatory, participation in competitive swim meets is encouraged for swimmers to set goals and realize their improvement. SSC is nota learn-to-swim program.

SSC is a parent-run, volunteer organization. SSC is managed by its Board of Directors. Monthly board meetings are open and all parents are encouraged to attend.  This is the best place to address any concerns and offer any input to improving the club.
