Didn't see a thread so I thought I'd start one.
Its been fantastic on the ASCA I & II side of things . All the coaches are a wealth of knowledge and brings their own ideas. Scott has a rolling with his jokes and "Scottism's!". Dr. G had us all hanging on every word and video of stroke analysis.....who woulda know Michael Phelps isn't actually perfect in the water?! Mel is great on the business end of things. I'm SO glad I'm attending and would recommend it to everyone, regardless of whether you coach or not.
I just wish it was a week long camp and we all got to swim together, critique each other, share more war stories, and have time for some fun!!:applaud::applaud:

I enjoyed getting to see some of my old friends again. Lump, sorry I missed you. The Rehberg brother's wanted to me to say "hi" for them.
For next year, I hope they will devote more pool time to the strokes. Each stroke only got 20 minutes at the end of the day, which went by too fast. One suggestion, have 2-1 1/2 hour sessions in the morning, one devoted to a long axis and short axis stroke. Then in the afternoon, have 2- 1 1/2 hour sessions devoted to the other short axis and long axis stroke. This would give people more time to have coaches work with them on mechanics.
I thought Alan Tyson, the pt guy, from charlotte was the best classroom session offered. He offered tips that we could immediately use while sitting in the classroom.
Overall, I thought the day was good. The socializing saturday night was better.
I would give Saturday a B-. If more time was devoted to the actual strokes, it would have been an A.
