USMS Coaching Support at the 2008 World Masters Championships
Perth, Australia
Program Purpose & Goals
The purpose of this program is to provide USMS swimmers with the best possible coaching support as they strive for excellence at the World Championships in Australia, 2008. We know that many of you do not have coaches or whose coaches will not be traveling with them to Perth-we're here for you!
The coaching staff will be available before and during the meet to provide these services to USMS swimmers at the meet:
 Schedule and hold a pre-meet meeting for USMS swimmers on the day before the meet.
 Designate an USMS "team area” & hang the USMS banner. Please sit with us.
 Offer guidance & splits during warm-up to those who desire it.
 Offer pre-race guidance & post-race comments throughout the meet to those who desire it.
 Assist videotaping if possible.
 Offer encouragement as needed.
 Serve as advocate for USMS swimmers regarding protests & administrative problems.
 Arrange for team picture(s).
 Perform other coaching tasks as needed.
We welcome all USMS swimmers and coaches present in Perth to join us at the meet, in the spirit of fellowship that is United States Masters Swimming!
