Swimming Technique Concepts: ISCA Hall of Fame Summit<\/h2>\n

The annual conference of the International Swim Coaches Association (ISCA) was held Aug. 28-31 in Clearwater Beach, Fla. As is customary for the ISCA conference, there were presentations by coaches, scientists and a combination of coaches and scientists.<\/p>\n

There were panels on sprint training, distance and open water training, preventing abuse, season planning for age group swimmers, marketing and managing fatigue. Individual presentations included science and technology for starts, the use of data to analyze technique, the importance of the rate of perceived exertion, applying research findings, nutrition and leadership.<\/p>\n

Multiple coaches commented positively on the opportunity to dialogue with presenters and experienced coaches. Ben<\/strong> Delia<\/strong> (Franklin & Marshall College) remarked that the elite coaching panels featured extended time blocks to allow the panelists to elaborate on their experience coaching world-class athletes and answer a variety of questions. Mike Peterson<\/strong> (Ames Cyclone Aquatic Club) commented that \u201ceveryone was very approachable\u201d and that he appreciated that he was able to speak with presenters during or after their presentations.<\/p>\n

The recent ISCA Hall of Fame Summit blended presentations by coaches and scientists. Audience questions and dialogue with coaches and presenters resulted in a number of thought-provoking moments. Julio Aragon<\/strong> (Costa Rica) summarized that \u201cthis summit is way more than the speeches and panels\u201d and that \u201cscience and swimming must go hand to hand…to create better athletes and better coaches.\u201d<\/p>\n
