The South Shore YMCA Strypers
(SSYS) compete in two seasons: the Winter
Short Course and
Summer Long Course.
As a competitive swimming
program, the SSYS supports
United States
Swimming,
YMCA
and the South Shore Swim League. The focus of the SSYS is on
providing opportunities for all of our swimmers to showcase their
hardwork and dedication. As such all swimmers are
expected to compete in both the meets for
which they are eligible and the meets targeted by the coaching
staff. All of our swimmers are eligible for all meets sanctioned by
the USA (must be registered), YMCA and South Shore Swim
League.
Fall/Winter Short Course
(SC) Season
Short Course season is named
based on the measure of distance in which the swimmers compete (25
yards or 25 meters). The SC season starts in September and the
regular season lasts into mid-January. Championships for SC are
held from mid-January through March / early April, depending on the
level of competition for which the swimmer qualifies. The SSYS
typically compete in 25 yard pools.
Spring/Summer Long
Course (LC) Season
Long Course season is named
based on the measure of distance in which the swimmer competes (50
meters). The LC season begins in late April and the regular season
lasts into mid-July. Championships for LC are held from mid-July
through mid-August, depending on the level of competition for which
the swimmer qualifies.
