Masters swimmers are not age-group swimmers with less time on their hands.
They train around jobs, kids, shift work, old injuries and a lane full of people who all want something different from the same workout. Coaching them well is its own skill — and on Sunday, October 4 at the Blue Mountain Conference Centre, we are giving it a full day of its own.

BRIDGING THE GAP: Practical Application & Sustainable Coaching for Masters Athletes

🔹 Physiology of the Adult Athlete — Dr. Duane Jones, Technosport Master Swim and Multisport Club
🔹 Managing Fitness vs. Racing Lanes — Janice Macdonald, Georgian Bay Squall
🔹 Seasonal Planning for Masters — Dr. Duane Jones
🔹 Beyond the Workout: Building a Thriving Masters Club — Leigh Shand, London Silver Dolphins Masters Swim Team
🔹 Working lunch: Shaping the Future of Masters Coaching — help design what Masters coach education should actually look like

For Masters coaches, club board members, administrators and volunteers.

Free to attend. Lunch included. Registration takes about thirty seconds.
