TCAY's Head Coach Nancy Miller said the coaches seminar this weekend is an opportunity to strengthen the group's coaching skills.
"We will learn new ways to communicate the strokes and accompanying skills in new and different ways," she said. "I am so excited to have the opportunity to personally 'pick the brains' of some of the world's best coaches. Also, the Olympics gold medalists who will be present should offer inspiring ideas we will bring home to help motivate as well as instruct our swimmers."
