COACHES MEETING /  TEAM LEADERSHIP MEETING
There will be a coaches meeting / Team leadership meeting on May 5th. 
Tom Boyd, and Jim Wheeler are the featured speakers. Tom Boyd did a 
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 their 
swimmers.

Jim Wheeler will be speaking on getting along with the pool 
management. Aquatic management has its own set of priorities and 
needs. For the team, by addressing the needs of aquatic management in 
the terms of aquatic management will insure a more harmonious

insights will prove valuable for team management.
