Co-Chair:
Not Present
Coach Rep:
Consideration of changing the AA Meet scheduled December 20th in the year 2002 to December 6-8. Tentative date of June 30th for coaches to get together and discuss upcoming bids for meets. Mary Jo Swalley has offered her home for the meeting. Altitude training camp attended by SMSC and SBSC was fun and productive. Mike Ashmore put on a presentation on Biomechanics and Nutrition. Ira Klein reviewed the films with the swimmers.
Senior Rep:
Mary Jo Swalley, Ira Klein and Tina Martin are the three representatives that will be attending the Convention this year in Dearborn, Michigan. There is talk of teaching or practicing racing starts in 5 feet of water with a separate warm up and warm down pool. California’s minimum for the pool is 3 ½ feet. This would cause a lot of problems for the pools in our Coastal Section. There have been 89 accidents reported and never at a meet in 5ft or less.
Age Group:
Not Present
Co-Age Group:
The meets in our section are overfilling. The fine for going over the timeline is $50 for the first 15 minutes, $100 for the next 15 minutes and $200 for the third 15 minutes. Discussion of several teams to be fined for going over the timeline.
The Pentathlon was split to accommodate the multitude of swimmers. Consideration of helping younger swimmers pick another meet available to them the same weekend or next instead of entering them in events in long course meets. For example instead of entering June Bug allow the kids to go to CCM or CSC which are designed around the younger swimmer.
Sometimes a coach will send in a disc and send the meet over the timeline. Discussion if coaches submit a disc of entries prior to the meet should they have a different entry deadline date? Last year we had 18,000 swimmers and we are up 1,200 this year.
There is a possibility of June Bug becoming the next Coastal Section AB Champs meet. The Fall Clinic scheduled for September 28-30th in Indian Wells this year will be offering a session hosted by Hy-Tec on Meet Manager and Team Manager. Tom Taylor and Steve Merseli will be discussing Aqua Pacers.
The Olympic section has agreed to pay for pins for the All Star swimmers in attendance.
Secretary;
Sharon Matthews has agreed to be Secretary for the Coastal Section.
