8/25/2008 - OSCA Coaches Clinic, Willamette University, Salem - Saturday October 11, 20

At this year's clinic we will have two sections that coaches can choose from. Coaches can move back and forth between the speakers to best gain knowledge that will help them at their home clubs. One of the sections will focus on senior level swimming and how to train and plan for this level of athlete. The other section will have talks about Age Group Swimming, speed development, and membership recruitment. We will all come together at the end to listen to the last speaker and conclude the clinic.
