USMS COACH CERTIFICATION CLASSES
Learn more about coaching masters and become certified. On May 4 and 5, 2013, the USMS/ASCA Masters Coach Certification Classes will be conducted at MIT in Cambridge, MA. There are a few seats available and registration is online at: http://www.usms.org/content/coachcertsched
The USMS Coaches Committee and Club and Coach Services have developed three levels of Masters coach certification. The new courses are taught in classroom settings throughout the country by USMS certified instructors, in partnership with the American Swimming Coaches Association. At the conclusion of the courses, ASCA processes the course materials and applications and issues certification.
If you’re already an ASCA certified coach and have completed the Masters track, you’ll continue to have your certification recognized. However, you’re invited to take these new and improved courses, for which you’ll earn credits toward ASCA’s continuing education requirements.
To become a USMS certified Masters coach, you must:
Be a member of USMS
Attend the Masters coach certification course
Submit the required documents to ASCA:
USMS/ASCA Certified Coach application (provided at certification course)
Completed test(s) from the certification course
Online membership application to ASCA (cost $70) if not a current ASCA member
Once you receive your Masters coach certification from ASCA, USMS will recognize your certification status. If you decide not to renew your annual membership with ASCA, you will lose the benefits of ASCA membership. However, USMS will continue to recognize your status as a certified Masters coach – regardless of your ASCA membership status – as long as you maintain your USMS membership.

A training session is ON for April 14th at Assumption College at 10am. 100 minute workout. USMS membership is not required.
I will have 4 or 5 different ability workouts but we will spend at least 30 minutes of technique work and basically give you advice on how to train and things you should do each day before and after practice.
We have a beautiful 6 lane pool (4 per lane max) – 24 total at $6 each — money goes in our team fundraiser and if you write a check you can use it as a tax donation.
For those of you that don’t know me, I am the head coach at Assumption College and live in Foster, RI. See my bio online at: http://www.assumptiongreyhounds.com/sports/swim/coaches/index
2nd item — Right after this practice I will videotape individual swimmers for 5 min each of tape with a personalized critique of your strokes imbedded on video and what you need to work on.
Reason to do this after workout is because you will be tired and that is best time to show you what your strokes really look like!! 
CD’s will be burnt and mailed directly to you! Cost $15 per person. Max of 12 individuals – again money goes in our fundraiser.
Contact me at scromart@assumption.edu if interested.
Thanks,
Stuart

USMS/ASCA Masters Classes
Feb 21
USMS/ASCA Masters Level 1 and 2 to be offered in Boston, MAY 4th
USMS/ASCA Masters Level 3 to be offered in Boston, May 5th
USMS and the American Swimming Coaches Association (ASCA) came together to create great certification courses for those who coach or lead masters groups. These are the ASCA Masters Coaches Level 1, 2, and 3 courses.
One of the best ways to sharpen skills and enhance the training and enjoyment of masters swimmers is to have an ASCA certified leader running the show or helping the leaders. These certification courses are becoming important factors in employment as well. Being certified is a big deal when applying for coaching and masters coaching positions. Given the cost of the courses, local groups are encouraged to consider some support for their leaders, if they otherwise would not be able to attend. But the rewards to your masters swimming will be great. New England LMSC has budgeted to provide a $40 credit for coaches taking Level 3. And all
coaches registering for either session will receive $10 towards lunch.
ASCA Certification Course Information and Registration Information is on the USMS website at http://www.usms.org/content/coachcertsched. You can also navigate to the coaching certification courses by going to www.USMS.org. All courses will be held on the campus of MIT in Boston. ASCA 1 and 2 are offered on Saturday,
May 4th
The ASCA 3 course (cannot be taken on the same weekend as ASCA 1 and 2) will be on Sunday, May 5th
Good luck. Please also spread the word among your swim friends and leaders. Our USMS governing body in New England—the New England-Local Masters Swim Committee–will have more information very soon on this offering.
