Benefits of Swimming
Swimming is an ideal sport, with considerable benefits:
- Develops high quality aerobic endurance, the most important key to physical fitness.
- Supports proportional muscular development by using all major muscle groups.
- Enhances children's natural flexibility.
- Helps develop superior coordination.
- Is the most injury-free of children's sports!
- Brings kids fitness and enjoyment for life.
In addition, learning and using swimming skills engages the thinking process. Their accomplishments in learning and using new skills contribute to a stronger self-image and promote self-confidence.
Club Dues and Fees
SASC members are responsible for payment of dues and fees including, but not limited to, the following:

SASC, like all USS Swim clubs, is run entirely by volunteers, with the exception of coaches who are paid staff. Parents are strongly encouraged to volunteer, we need and appreciate your help!
Communications
E-mail is the primary mode of communication for the SASC. Practice changes/cancellations, meet updates, meet information; schedule changes, activities announcements and updates, and much more will be communicated via e-mail. Please ensure that we have a current e-mail address at all times.
Each member family has its own folder, located in a file box kept at the pool, located in the bleachers. Statements and other items will be placed in these folders. Families should check their folders throughout the month. All payments need to be placed in the ‘treasurer’ file located at the front of the file holder.
