Pacific Masters Swimming is excited to announce a swim clinic for coaches and swimmers. The clinic, Excel Weekend 2011, runs June 10-12, 2011 in San Mateo at the San Mateo Athletic Club on the campus of College of San Mateo. They have a beautiful and spacious facility with two pools: a 50m pool and a 25yd pool on a hillside with a gorgeous view. And two weeks after the clinic, the San Mateo Marlins Masters host a long course meet here!:bliss:
Our Excel Weekend clinic includes pool sessions, dryland training, filming, an open water session at Half Moon Bay, and an advanced pool competitor session. The central theme of the clinic is Technique & Heart.
Our keynote speaker is Rowdy Gaines who will join the coaches Friday night, provide the keynote speech Saturday morning, and then work with coaches and swimmers throughout the day. As many of you may know, Rowdy is himself a world record-breaking masters competitor and a true ambassador for masters swimming.
All sessions are built with the goal of getting swimmers and coaches to go beyond their current levels and advance their knowledge and skills. No matter what your experience level, whether you are a pool or open water swimmer, or a coach with a little experience or a wealth of experience, you have much to gain by attending this clinic.
The clinic is free to masters coaches and assistant coaches. Coaches and teams must hold 2011 USMS registration. If you opt for ASCA certification training (Fri June 10th) there is a fee. There is also a fee if you register to receive Swim Power Test filming from Global Sport Technology.
Swimmers must also hold current 2011 USMS registration. Swimmers pay $130 if registering before May 15th, and $150 after that date.
Coaches and swimmers, please help spread the word to your swimmers about this special clinic. Spaces are limited! Reservations close June 3rd.

Here is an update on our Excel Weekend clinic.
Our Open Water Session will now be held at the pool instead of at Half Moon Bay. There were a variety of compelling reasons. Not to worry though, we will give you an experience at the pool that will help you: improve your sighting in the open water; better manage pack swimming; learn how to get the most speed out of cornering buoys; find the nutritional balance you need to sustain you through your open water swim; and more! The Open Water session will be coached by Coach Scott Williams, Lucas Valley Aquatic Masters, and Coach Joel Wilson, Santa Cruz Masters. Both are seasoned open water swimmers themselves and have a lot of experience coaching others in open water swims. Not to mention, they are award winning coaches!
We've got Finis, TYR, Swim Outlet, Chammyz, TruWest, Sports Basement, AquaVolo, Tropical Penguin, Fit 2 Race, Ying Fa, Jamba Juice, Illusions Swim Wear, Q Swimwear, and Tracy Barbutes Photography as sponsors and/or raffle prize donors. Still looking for more so Blue Seventy, Speedo and all you other USMS sponsors, if you are out there, we want you!
Our event hotel, the San Mateo Marriott SFO, is giving us a great deal - $99 a night plus free parking ($20 value) if you book your room before May 19th. Go to our website to link to the hotel for this deal.
