We have a local meet coming up!  The 2025 Ozark LMSC Short Course Yards Championships will be held Saturday March 15 starting at Noon and Sunday March 16 starting at 8 am at the Chuck Fruit Aquatic Center in Edwardsville, IL; the entry form is here.  The annual Ozark LMSC General Membership meeting is Saturday in between events #7 & #8, and there is a brief SLAM meeting Sunday in between events #22 & #23.  I can’t wait to see you there!  You are invited to a team social at Pasta House (1097 IL-157) after the Saturday session.  Please let me know if you are planning on attending the dinner.
Update on the USMS Coaching Certification classes: The dates for September, 2025 classes in Kansas City haven’t been announced yet, but USMS just scheduled an education weekend in Joliet, IL and Levels 2 and 3 are on Saturday, May 31.  I will be going to both Levels; on Friday, May 30 I’m driving to Joliet and staying at the Wingate, and then driving back the morning of Sunday, June 1.  Please reply to this email if you would like to ride with me.  If you are interested in being a USMS Certified Coach, Level 1 Certification is done online.  On Sunday, June 1, there is a Stroke Development Clinic and ALTS (Adult Learn To Swim) Instructor Certification classes.  The link to find classes is here.  I believe there are only 30 spots available for the Level 2 and 3 coaching certification classes, so register soon to secure your spot.
