Message from Executive Director Rob Butcher to SPMA Coaches. |
ASCA Convention
SPMA has adopted a policy that helps masters swim coaches become better coaches through additional training. Each year we nominate our SPMA Coach of the Year for an ASCA grant to attend the ASCA World Clinic. We help SPMA masters coaches by reimbursing up to $50.00 per year after the coach successfully takes ASCA Courses. American Swimming Coaches Association is located at http://www.swimmingcoach.org. Check out their Masters Certification information in PDF Format.
