FINA Clinics - 2013 Programme

The FINA Clinics for Coaches (Technical Courses) are intended to train coaches of all levels through courses led by an expert. The main objective is to provide basic training through courses in their respective disciplines. To support successful performances in the pool, your coaches need to be provided with the best education and training.

The FINA Clinics for Officials (Judges and Referees) are intended to help your National Federation to provide training to Judges and Referees through courses led by an Expert. In order to support successful performances in the pool, your Judges and Referees need the best education and training.

Offering technical training and promotion of best practices can help your National Federation to succeed. The FINA Clinics for Coaches and for Officials are available to National Federations wishing to host a training Clinic in their country or attend a Clinic in the continental region. All training clinics will be conducted by an international expert approved by FINA.
