High Tech Suits and “Official” Business

April 27, 2008

John Leonard, the Executive Director of the American Swimming Coaches Association, has written an interesting opinion piece called “Let’s Keep the Tech Suits With The Senior Swimmers”.  The article summarizes some of the dangers of “high tech” swimsuits for younger swimmers from a coaching and parenting perspective.  John’s opinions are his own and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Shaker Swimming coaching staff; however, his article may be insightful for those Shaker Swimming families facing similar situations.
