As the club season of the 2009-2010 Canadian swim season comes to an end it's interesting to see the volume of coaching changes this summer. This seems like a much more active coaching carousel then usual.
New Head Coaches will be found at...
TSC... clearly I have an interest in the hiring of Alex Wallingford
OAK... hired Sean Baker away from Hamilton
HAC
HTAC... who hired an old friend of mine Aaron Maszko
SCAR... hired Darren Ward, the top age group coach at MSSAC
University of Regina... Sylvain Pineau moves to coach the Cougars
There have been obviously other coaching moves but these are pretty much the big moves in Canada, featuring the hiring of coaches to traditionally successful clubs. Even coach moves at the University of Regina and the launch of the Trinity Western University swim program under Brian Metcalfe are also very significant as they will enable more opportunities for swimmers to compete at post-secondary education institutions, which is a clearly a good thing.
Good luck to all the faces in new places, should be interesting to see how these moves pan out.
