Practical Education for Every Stage of a Coaching Career
The Pacific Swim Coaches Clinic is designed to deliver more than inspiration. Its goal is to help coaches return to the pool with ideas, knowledge, and tools they can put to work immediately.
In addition to the main clinic program, coaches can register for two specialized learning opportunities:
- The Stroke School with Russell Mark: An in-depth opportunity to study stroke mechanics and develop a more precise, effective approach to teaching swimming technique. The course is designed to provide coaches with updated technical knowledge and practical tools they can use with their athletes. The course can be applied to ASCA’s Level 2 Certification qualifications.
- The Planning, Writing, and Managing Age Group & Novice Workouts: A focused session for coaches who want to strengthen their workout design, improve daily practice planning, and develop more effective training experiences for developing swimmers.
These additional sessions complement the main clinic by offering targeted education for coaches who want to deepen specific areas of their coaching practice.
