FUTURE ROYALS 2:

Happy Sunday! 

 

I hope you all had a wonderful 4th and were able to spend some well deserved time away from the pool with friends and family!

 

We have another big week of racing coming up this week!  We will be hosting our Championship Splash this Friday, July 11th.  We will also have the Noblesville Sprint Night Under the Lights meet this Sunday, July 13th.  Both of these meets can be used as a chance for our swimmers who are close to any cuts (Divisional, Age Group State, etc...) or as their end of season meet!  Our Championship Splash will offer the normal variety of events while the Sprint Night meet will only be offering 50's of all 4 strokes.  Any swimmers who are close to cuts will be put in those events first, if you have any other requests for the Championship Splash, please make a note when you declare your swimmer.  Please know that I will take all requests into consideration but cannot guarantee that every swimmer will get into every requested event.  

 

You all should have received an e-mail from Coach Blake about SSC hosting FAST starting at the end of June while their pool gets their HVAC system replaced.  We are working hard to keep the schedule as consistent as possible with our current schedule, but please be on the lookout for any updates that may occur.  It looks like our schedule should remain the same but I will reach out ASAP if there will be any changes moving forward. 

 

For those that are new, please make sure to join our GroupMe so you can stay informed throughout the season - particularly with meet information or practice updates when necessary!

REMINDER - We have started our Summer Practice Schedule which will look slightly different than our current schedule.  Our summer schedule will be as follows:

• Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 5:00 - 6:20pm.  We will have NO SATURDAY PRACTICES this summer!  This keeps us at our 4 hours of practice time a week, just re-arranged to keep weekends free.  

 

Our FR2 "Champions in the Pool" for June are Skylar Campbell and Jamie Voigtman!  Both Skylar and Jamie have shown so much growth over the past few months!  They have a strong willingness to learn and try new things while also being very focused on our club values. I am so proud of both of these wonderful young athletes and cannot wait to see what they continue to accomplish!

 

Let's have a great week! :)

 

***REMINDERS***

​​

• REMINDER - We have started our Summer Practice Schedule which will look slightly different than our current schedule.  Our summer schedule will be as follows:

  • Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 5:00 - 6:20pm.  We will have NO SATURDAY PRACTICES this summer!  This keeps us at our 4 hours of practice time a week, just re-arranged to keep weekends free.  

 

• PLEASE make sure you are entering and exiting through Door 10 (the athletic entrance to the high school) for each practice!  The Athletic Department has asked that no swimmer or family use the end doors to enter or exit the Natatorium for safety reasons.

 

• Please make sure your swimmer is prepared for the dropping temperatures at the end of practice! I require for all swimmers to be wearing shoes, a shirt/sweatshirt and pants/shorts to leave the pool area. There are also a variety of germs going around right now, so if your swimmer is not feeling well please use your best judgement in whether or not they are well enough to attend practice.

 

• We do dryland as a group on WEDNESDAY evenings over the summer from 5:00 - 5:20pm. 

 

• Please help me remind your swimmers to bring all of their equipment as well as a water bottle to practice every day! Having their own equipment and a drink nearby allows us to move through practice more efficiently and get more work done in the time that we have.

 

• The SSC announcing crew (our wonderful announcers for meets) is looking to grow the group!
  • We would like to extend an invite to any Future Royal Parent who would like to give it a try. We have the November Splash on Saturday, and Matt would be glad to show you the ropes during this club-only event. It is a lot of fun and offers you a front row seat to the action - all while counting towards your volunteer obligation to the club when announcing for one of the club hosted/non-Splash meets. Please feel free to reach out to Matt to let me know if you would be interested - [email protected]

 

Below are a few important reminders/updates:​

• 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.

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 continues to grow and that is INCREDIBLE!  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! 

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

CALENDAR and WEEKLY SCHEDULE:

 

Weekly, starting June 2nd, our schedule will be Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 5:00 - 6:20pm  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 WEDNESDAYS, 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:

• T-shirt (preferably SSC if possible)
• Shorts/Sweatpants
• TENNIS SHOES - NO Crocs, flip flops or sandals of any kind!
  • For the safety of all athletes, swimmers will NOT participate in ANY type of running activities if they come with shoes other than tennis shoes. They will be asked to participate in stationary exercises only.
• Water Bottle
