Changes Made to Foundations of Coaching Course
As of 1 May 2008 there are new resources and a new Foundations of Coaching test. Both tests will be available until 31 August 2008. After that date, only the "new" test, based on the new resources, will be available.

The 'new' Foundations of Coaching DVD based test is taken from: the Foundations of coaching DVD, downloadable documents accessible from the Foundations of Coaching DVD and the USA Swimming Rules and Regulations.

The 'old' Foundations of Coaching book based test is taken from: the USDA Swimming Progressions for athlete and coach development, the Foundations home study course and the USA Swimming rules and regulations.

The Foundations of Coaching DVD is available from the USA Swimming online store for $25.00. The DVD and accompanying documents make a great start to a coaching library and it's highly recommended that a coach purchase the materials prior to taking the test.

Questions regarding this change should be directed to Sue Anderson at sanderson@usaswimming.org.

Meet Bid Process is Underway
There are a few changes afoot in the bidding process. We want to begin listing a little more information about a meet such as what groups swim in the morning and afternoon sessions, how many or who may enter etc. This extra information will make it a little easier for teams to make decisions about attending any particular meet. Until now this extra information was not available until meet information was published.

Another change is that bidding for the short course and long course season will now be done separately. An event list must now accompany completed bid forms.

Bids for the upcoming short course season are due by 1 June:
