FUTURE ROYALS 2:
***New email sent - UPDATED with Friday practice change due to home HSE Football game! The correct Fall Break schedule can be found below! ***
Happy Fall Break!
I hope that whatever this break has in store for your family, you are all able to relax and enjoy! :) Below is our schedule for this week with the updated information about Friday evening.
Last week we continued to discuss some of the DQ's that we saw from the Welcome Splash as well as Swim Fest and working on those skills throughout our practices. I was so proud of our group for taking ownership and being mindful of what they were doing during practice this week. We also did a kick set that challenged the group (10x25's Flutter kick with fins, kick board and snorkel on :40 or :30). Everyone did a great job and we will continue to build on this set as we move throughout the rest of the season!
***IMPORTANT FALL BREAK INFO!!!*** THIS WEEK is HSE Fall Break so our schedule will be changing sightly. Our full schedule for this week and next will be down below under "CALENDAR AND WEEKLY SCHEDULE"
Over Fall Break, we will follow the FR1 schedule from October 14 - 18
- Tuesday October 15th from 5:20 - 6:20pm
- Thursday October 17th from 5:20 - 6:20pm

Below are a few important reminders/updates for this week:
- We are going to be starting up BLUE FRIDAYS again this year! Each Friday, please have your athlete show their ROYAL PRIDE by sporting either a blue shirt/sweatshirt or an SSC/HSE Swimming shirt to school!
- Please make sure your swimmer has and is bringing all of their equipment everyday! If there is something you haven’t been able to purchase or you have questions, please let me know, but we are really starting to use fins and kickboard especially each day so it is important that we have what we need to be successful.
- We have suits/warm-ups to try on at the pool so let me know if you would like your swimmer to try anything before ordering the new team apparel for this year! Below is the link for Elsmore Swim Shop to purchase gear, suits and

For those of you who don’t know me already , here is a quick "About Me" to get to know me better!
My name is Kylie Love (formerly Sutherlin, I recently got married) and I am a Royal at heart! I started my swimming journey at SSC in the lessons program at age 6 and ended my competitive swimming career with SSC the summer before my sennior year of college at age 22. I attended Hamiton Southeastern High School and graduated in 2016, helping bring home a State Runner-Up title my senior year while also being part of the pool and school record-setting 400 Freestyle Relay team in the process. After graduating, I went on to swim and Study Elementary Special Education at Eastern Michigan University. I graduated from EMU in December of 2021 with my teaching degree and decided it was time to come home, not only to Indiana, but to HSE/SSC as well! I got a job as a Special Education teacher here at HSE High School in January of 2022 and have loved it ever since. Swimming has been such a huge part of my life for so long and I am thankful to be back at the club that has provided so much to me, working alongside so many coaches who helped get me to where I am today!
OUR GROUP:
We have some familiar faces returning to our group this fall while also welcoming some new swimmers from Future Royals 1 and some who are new to the team all together! Below I have included a "Meet Our Group" chart that will help everyone get to know the members of our FR2 family! :)

SWIM EQUIPMENT:
Please make sure swimmers have all swimming equipment they need for training - labeled with their name and group (FR2) in Sharpie! We will be adding a new piece of equipment this fall ... A SNORKEL! I recommend going to Elsmore Swim Shop with your swimmer so they can help make sure you get a snorkel that will fit!
Now is a great time to check and see if anything needs to be replaced (Fins too small? Goggles leaking? Mesh bag ripped? Kickboard missing?). I have included a list below, as well as the link to the equipment that we need and a phone number/address for Elsmore.
- Mesh Bag (optional but recommended)
- Swim Suit
- Cap (this will be a required piece of equipment in our group this year!)
- Goggles
- Towel
- Kickboard
- Fins
- SNORKEL :)
- Water Bottle

Weekly, our schedule will be Mondays and Fridays from 5:20 - 6:20pm, Wednesdays from 5:00 - 6:00pm and Saturdays from 11:30 - 12:30pm. If there will be any change to our regular schedule I will let you know as soon as possible and with as much notice as I can to help you prepare or make arrangements if necessary.
PLEASE send your swimmer ready for dryland each practice. We will typically only do dryland activities on WEDNESDAY and SATURDAY but I like for swimmers to be prepared in the case that we do any type of land activity on a different day. Dryland attire includes:
