ROAD TO EXCELLENCE UTAH SWIMPOSIUM 2019 This year’s Swimposium offers Utah Swimming members a unique opportunity to experience elite swimming. Four Olympic Gold-Medalist Athletes will be teaching and training our athletes, parents, and coaches on September 28, 2019 at the Utah Valley Convention Center. This is a chance to have a connection to fast swimming as well as learn good information. Come and learn what elite swimmers are doing, how they’re doing it, and why that matters for any athlete at any level of development.
This year’s Swimposium theme is “Road to Excellence.” The day will offer more than 40 classes on a variety of subjects, including what elite performance looks like, muscle physiology for athletes, technique, being a good swim parent, athletic process, coach and official training, and much more.
