Sugar Creek Swim Club is open to swimmers within and outside of Montgomery County.
You can join the club at any time, but getting in at the beginning of the season is preferred. Team tryouts are conducted before each season; with the safety of each child in mind, we are looking for basic swimming skills in children 5 years and older.
The team is divded into squads so that swimmers practice with others at their own level or capability.
SCSC coaches determine the squad most appropriate for each swimmer, and may move swimmers between squads as they improve over time.
There are two swim seasons per year. The short course is swum in 25 yard laps, while the long course is
swum in 50 meter laps. Within the Crawfordsville Aquatic Center, this is achieved by turning the orientation
of the lane lines between the long and short sides of the pool. The short course runs approximately from September to March, while the long course runs April to August.
The fees associated with swimming with Sugar Creek come from a few different places:
· Our club operates under the rules defined by Indiana Swimming, and they collect an annual membership fee from each swimmer.
· Membership dues for SCSC cover the swimmer's use of the facility and staff of the Crawfordsville Aquatic Center
· Swim meets serve a dual role - they offer swimmers a chance to compete against others, and they provide funding for the hosting club. The cost to the swimmer is typically $3-$4 dollars per event swum in a swim meet.
· The cost for 'equipment' is limited to goggles, a swim cap, and at least two swim suits: one for practice and another for competition. The cost for team suits and caps are included in the swimmer information packet.
Financial assistance may be available for age-group swimmers (younger than high-school); please speak with Coach Hesse or Coach Black for more information.
