Southside Swim League

Hello SSL fans! As you enjoy the start of Fall, we would like to share some news on next year's summer swim season.

The 2024 SSL schedule has been set and is available below. As summer breaks in school calendar's are shifting earlier in the year, the swim schedule has been adjusted to start a week earlier to match that change. You will also notice that in 2024 there will be a league wide Bye week during the week of July 4th.

We know you can't wait for next summer, but have a great Fall and holiday season and we will see you next year!
