He is also one of the most successful high school and club coaches. “Coach or Manager? Coach AND Manager!” states that to be a successful business manager and a successful coach, one must have a clear vision of where you are going. You can’t have one without the other and still count yourself successful. |

| Swim Schools: Whether its competitive swimming, open water swimming, water polo, artistic swimming, or diving, it all starts with becoming water safe and learning how to swim. Sharing information and ideas in all areas of aquatics is an import part of ISCA’s agenda. We will be sharing information on swim schools in the months to come. So let’s get started with “A Developmental Program: transition from lessons to swim team”. We encourage your feed back and willingness share your thoughts and ideas with us. |

| Fluid Mechanics: For swimmers, the understanding of hydro dynamics is crucial and can enable an athlete to maximize their performance beyond hard work and dedication. To understand this variable better, Fluid Mechanics uses an innovative approach to give coaches and swimmers an important understanding of the environment they are working in. This methodology helps swimmers reduce water resistance, increase stability, harness propulsive forces, and manipulate water formations to move with greater efficiency. |

Open Water Swimming (back by popular demand): The YouTube video on open water training in the April newsletter generated considerable interest. Paul Newsome the head coach at SwimSmooth (Australia), has given us permission to share his “Guide to Open Water Swimming”. website: www.swimsmooth.com Text Link |
