Here is the next clinic opportunity to learn some GREAT swim technique. The FINIS-ASCA 8th Annual Eastern Age Group Coaches Conference www.swimmingcoach.org/.../Eastern Age Group Clinic 2011.pdf I'd definitely attend if I lived back east!

Before I started up coaching masters swimming, I used to attend swim coaches clinics. You do not have to be a coach to attend one, although you might need to join The American Swim Coaches Assn. (ASCA). Once you're a member, you will receive and have access to more coaching material than you can possibly imagine. ASCA conducts coaching clinics all over the country. Their World Clinic in September is excellent. If you love swim technique and debating the pros and cons of various training philosophy, absolutely nothing compares to this experience. I wish more of our "thinking swimmers" would take time for a weekend or even a day clinic. And why not take along their coach! It could motivate potential new coaches. And help address our need for more qualified and knowledgeable coaches. https://www.swimmingcoach.org USMS local organizations are beginning to hold their own regional masters coaches clinics now that the USMS Coaches Certification is relaunched. Check with your LMSC's Coaches Chair and find out what your LMSC is planning for your local coaches. I attended the PACIFIC Masters EXCEL Clinic organized by Coach Cokie Lepinski last summer. I registered as a swimmer/coach to benefit from both viewpoints. Fantastic weekend!

Most coaches will give you an individual stroke evaluation for a small fee.Ask your coach.
