Has anyone heard any plans about SwimFest this year? Loved it so much last year, so I was hoping to go again!
+1! It was a blast and I got so much out of it! I was so lucky it was at my (almost) home pool, too; well, at least the pool I swim at when I'm not sharing our community pool with the noodlers...
What about those of us, who went for the pool clinic. I went just for the clinics, instead of the coaching cert. Any focus on that kind of clinic too?
