The NSSC season is broken into three sessions. We have determined that these three sessions fit the flow of the school year and the needs of swimmers better than a traditional season. Below are the descriptions of all three sessions.
Session 1 Session one is open to all swimmers on a first come, first serve basis. Session one is a fantastic opportunity to regain some stamina in the water that may have been lost since last season. Session one is also a great opportunity to try out the team.
The focus of this session will be development. Athletes will develop their feel for the water, stroke, and stamina. In order to participate, athletes must be able to comfortably swim 4 lengths of the pool without stopping.
