FUTURE ROYALS 2:
WELCOME or WELCOME BACK!!
I can't believe it is already time to kick off another great year with Southeastern Swim Club and I am SO excited to return as the Lead Coach for the Future Royals 2 group this 2024-2025 Short Course Season! 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:
We have some familiar faces returning to our group this fall while also welcoming some new swimmers from Future Royals 1 and some who are new to the team all together! Below I have included a "Meet Our Group" chart that will help everyone get to know the members of our FR2 family! :)

| Layla Halvorson | Timmy Lawrance | Chloe McIntosh |

SWIM EQUIPMENT:
Please make sure swimmers have all swimming equipment they need for training - labeled with their name and group (FR2) in Sharpie! We will be adding a new piece of equipment this fall ... A SNORKEL! I recommend going to Elsmore Swim Shop with your swimmer so they can help make sure you get a snorkel that will fit!
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, our schedule will be Mondays and Fridays from 5:20 - 6:20pm, Wednesdays from 5:00 - 6:00pm and Saturdays from 11:30 - 12:30pm. 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 WEDNESDAY and SATURDAY 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.
