Managing The Technology

USA Swimming provides training and recertification for officials as well as coaches. The technology that was mentioned above is available online in various forms.  Most manuals and resources are offered in either Word or pdf format. There are a few, such as Foundations of Coaching, that are offered in DVD format that require ordering; however, all other forms of training are available through a link on the education and training or certification link.





A technology that USA Swimming uses is Team Unify. The TeamUnify platform is designed specifically for swimming and delivers centralized business process optimization that's easy to use. It offers many avenues that allow coaches to keep on top of all aspects of a swim team. The technology that applies the most would be SwimOffice which has its own email, attendance tracker, and record management.  The later is beneficial to keep track of what certifications and training each coach has or needs.
