Southeast Swim Club

I have dreaded this day since May. Today was our Katie’s last day at SESC. There are not enough words to describe what this young lady means to not only me but so many of us. I was so excited she decided to come back for one more summer after graduating in May. I mean there’s no rush to start really adulting is there? How fortunate were we she put her career on hold for a few months! Katie has been instrumental in making our faculty so great. I adore her and can not imagine a summer without her. I know many did not know today was her last day and maybe didn’t have time to say goodbye but you certainly can in the comments. Katie will be moving back to Wilmington where she will begin her career and new chapter of her life. Katie we wish you nothing but success and happiness. We hope you’ll come back & visits us next year! Your SESC family will always be cheering for you!

And then there were 2…
We have 2 Sundays left in our 2026 summer season. As a reminder; we close at 7pm tonight.
It’s school night!!

Wishing all of our students and teachers a happy first day of school. I want to send big hugs to our teachers in the concession stand, Brittany, CJ & Dana. Thank you for working during this first week of work days and open houses. I appreciate you all so much. To all of our teachers; thank you for all you do. None of us would be who we are without the teachers in our lives. We thank you.
To all of my guard staff; I love you and I hope you have a great day especially my sweet seniors; Logan, Brittyn, Heath & Leo. I hope your senior year is fabulous.

Your weekly weather forecast

Our weather headlines as we head into a new week: Schools might be starting back soon, but summer is going nowhere anytime soon! So if you want to keep soaking in summer, you have plenty more to go! Hot and humid temperatures in the upper 80s and low/mid 90s will be around all week into this upcoming weekend.

High pressure builds back, and we will see partly to mostly sunny skies for the most part the high will be directly overhead today so limited to very little storm chances are expected but it'll shift some tomorrow and a weak disturbance will rotate around so it'll be hot and humid tomorrow but in the afternoon and evening we will see some scattered showers and thunderstorms around across the state. A stronger-to-severe risk, with damaging winds, can't be ruled out with any storm that tries to tap into the ingredients, especially further north and west.

Wednesday & Thursday we will see hot and humid temperatures; can't rule out a shower or storm chance early in the mountains on Wednesday.

Friday-Sunday: Typical summertime weather with hot/humid temperatures will continue into the weekend with temps in the 80s and 90s and a few scattered pm showers and thunderstorms around! No washouts!!

Cool weather/space happening this weekend: a meteor shower called the Perseids will peak Wednesday night into Thursday. A new moon will make for great viewing; some clouds are possible early if storms are around, but so far it's looking pretty good. I'll have more thoughts on this soon!
