Coaches Build & Program A Pool Workshop
At the 2026 ASCA World Clinic. September 8-9 at the Rosen Hotel, Orlando, FL. Title Sponsor: Spectrum Aquatics.
Description
A Programming-First Planning Session
If you're a swim coach shaping a new pool or major renovation, the biggest decisions need to be right from the start. The most expensive mistake is finalizing design before confirming the program model, schedule, and operating assumptions.
The Coaches BAPP Workshop helps you align facility requirements with program goals, protect capital investment, reduce the risk of costly redesigns, and create a pool that delivers value for athletes, families, and the broader community.
What You'll Gain
A programming-first plan built on the principle that programming must lead design
A balanced program mix aligned to the four pillars
Practical aquatic center development budget considerations
Schedule logic and utilization strategies
Decision-ready materials for boards, funders, and project teams
Who Should Attend

Translate training needs into smart design choices that reduce cost without sacrificing performance
Build a schedule model that protects team training while adding complementary programs to stabilize revenue
Plan staffing and operating systems so the facility runs consistently
Avoid common pitfalls: over building, under-programming, and unrealistic operating assumptions
