Welcome to Schenectady Swim Club’s 2008 spring and summer sessions!  Below is some information that may be helpful to you.

*If you are new to the team and need to order suits or caps, go to our website and click on EQUIPMENT ORDERING on the top left. (Ignore the fall deadline) Mark Duchesne is our equipment person and his contact information is on the form. He will be happy to answer any questions.

*Spring session ends with the Rochester meet, June 14th.  Summer swimmers may begin June 2nd.

*The spring /summer meet schedule is on the website.  Please use the email links provided to communicate with Jerry regarding your participation in these meets. Questions may also be addressed to your group coach or group liaison or any board member.

* All spring swimmers are welcome to come to the Rochester meet. Please read the info on our website and confirm your participation with Jerry. Hotel rooms need to be reserved ASAP!

* Swimmers qualifying for Speedos in Florida have had conversations with Jerry.  Please ask your child if you are unsure about their eligibility.  Hotel info will be posted by the end of the week. You must call to reserve your room by the posted deadline. The hotel is within easy walking distance of the pool. We will also provide you with flights on which there will be SSC parents who are happy to chaperone.

*Our club has put a deposit on apartments for the Colgate meets. SSC families generally stay there as a team.  Reservation info will be out soon and will be through our team. Please note deadlines. Swimmers without parents at Colgate should find a teammate to room with. We will have our traditional team family dinners during the District Championship meet.  Signup forms will be out in July.
