The USMS Coaches Committee offers On-Deck Coaching assistance for swimmers during warm-ups at USMS National Championship Events and at the annual United States Aquatic Sports (USAS) Convention. Coaches monitor the sprint lanes during the early morning warm-ups at USMS Nationals, giving swimmers start commands and timing sprints if requested. At Convention, coaches devise and conduct workouts for convention attendees. All participating coaches are given a special USMS Coaches T-shirt, great for being recognized on deck.

The On-Deck Coaching program has grown in popularity and participation, and we are now offering to help regional Masters organizations develop the program for regional events, such as the Zone Championships.
