COACH'S NEWS

John Leonard is the current executive director of the American Swim Coaches Association and is no stranger to controversy.  He has written dozens of articles for SwimNews and other publications.  He feels no reason to hold back and be politically correct.  Many of the competitive swimming topics found in the USA are the same here.  Club system, jumping clubs, high performance swim suits for 10 year olds and more.  Here are a few of my favourite articles (you'll find them on lots of different web sites).
