Masters Coaches Certification

We are pleased to share that the USMS Coaches Committee and Club Development have updated Level 1 and Level 2 Masters Coaches certification. Any coach who achieved Masters coaches certification prior to December 31, 2010 and is a 2011 USMS registered member and 2011 ASCA registered member will continue to have his/her Masters coaching certification recognized. These certified coaches though are invited to participate in the improved Level 1 and Level 2 Masters certification courses to earn credit for continuing coaching education with ASCA. ASCA remains our partner in administering Masters coaches certification.

The new Level 1 and Level 2 Masters coaches certification was recently taught in the Virginia LMSC. Thirty-one (31) coaches attended earning their certification. The feedback from the Virginia LMSC leadership was overwhelmingly positive and supportive for the Masters certification program.

SwimFest 2011

The next opportunity for Masters coaches certification will be May 20-22 at SwimFest in Atlanta. The SwimFest schedule and registration are available at www.usms.org/swimfest. Many Masters coaches are volunteers or part time so we encourage LMSCs to offer scholarships so your coaches may gain this valuable knowledge and better support your LMSC goals.

As we continue to offer more Masters certification opportunities, we will be sure to communicate with you. Thank you very much for your support.
