survey of Masters swimmers last year. Tom segmented swimmers into 
different groups. Each group, whether it be the elite, tri-athlete, 
competitive or "swim for exercise swimmer" has its own peculiarities 
He will  discuss the results of the survey and what it means for 
coaches and with that knowledge how they can work better with thier 
swimmers.

management. Aquatic management has its own set of priorities and 
needs. For the team, by addressing the needs of aquatic management in
