10/03 - 10/09 SSC WEEKLY UPDATE
Hello Team,
Congratulations to all of our Athletes who competed last weekend in the September Sprint Meet! We had an outstanding number of best times, and one of the largest groups ever to compete in our season opener.
Good luck to our 2022 Relay Carnival Team! Thanks to all for your commitment to the program. This is going to be a great meet, with an electric atmosphere and awesome competition!
For those who did not qualify, please use this as an opportunity to set goals, and be a great supporting teammate. We are all SSC and each year the rosters will change and have their own unique challenges. I am so very proud of the outstanding performances across all of our SSC Swimmers whether you made this year’s team or not. Everyone that swam had an improvement one way or the other and it is exciting to see the rapid growth and increasing depth in each of our age groups!
Looking forward to a great meet!
