New Free Opportunity for
Swimmers:
As many have heard, Lebanon
resident John Barnes, ASCA Level 3 Coach (Level 4 Achievement
Eligible) has retired from day-to-day coaching due to changes in his
paying job.
As such, Coach Barnes is
now making himself available to consult with swimmers (Middle School,
High School, Masters, Tri's) on their strokes and to offer training
recommendations.
In keeping with his history
as a volunteer coach, always serving with zero financial stake in any
swim club he as worked with, the service will be provided free of
charge.
Interested families will
be responsible for securing lane space at a 25yard facility (or
greater) for the consultation.
If you are interested,
email
Coach Barnes, please include a contact phone number and suggested
dates. Weekends would be best due to his business travel, and
you should allow for an hour to run through the strokes, suggested
drills, and time to talk about training.
Since 2001,
Coach Barnes has had numerous swimmers qualify for HS Region, HS State
and SES; 13 swimmers qualify for Senior Sectionals; 3 swimmers qualify
for Junior Nationals; and one swimmer qualify for Senior Nationals.
8 swimmers have gone on to swim in college.
