Select Coaches Group

2021-2022 Select Coaches Program

As Swimming Canada works towards its mission of being amongst the world leading swimming nations, one strategic aim is to enhance the development of a sustainable stream of world leading High Performance Coaches. To that end, Swimming Canada has developed a number of professional development programs that have provided opportunities to over 155 coaches in Canada since 2014.

The 2021-2022 season program included 2 virtual group sessions for the Advanced Coaches with Elton Fernandes, HPC-Ontario, MSc. Sport Scientist with Canadian Sport Institute of Ontario and Physiologist with HPC Ontario. They developed and submitted a number of Targeted Training Sets that were reviewed by Elton Fernandes and Tom Vandenbogaerde, performance Scientist, CSI Pacific. The theme of the 2022 Select Coaches Program was based on energy systems, targeted set design and the progression of key sets over the course of a macro-cycle. The sessions included presentations and small breakout group discussions.

We are pleased to announce that the following coaches took part in the Swimming Canada’s Select Coaches Group for 2022:
