SPRING WORKSHOP WRAP UP! BY ANNE SWANSON UNITED STATES SWIM SCHOOL ASSOCIATION
The 2022 Spring Workshop theme was “Unleash the Possibilities” and did we ever! This year’s workshop in Mesa, Arizona was the largest we have ever had! Those who joined us in March participated in a reimagined agenda that included more roundtables and inspiring sessions. Based on survey feedback, the new agenda was a huge success with the majority of attendees reported loving or liking the new format. Although we will continue to tweak the agenda based on feedback, it was a great start to a re-fresh of the Spring Workshop. Attendees also had an opportunity to visit one of two local swim schools for in-water sessions. SWIMKids USA and Hubbard Family Swim School both hosted a full afternoon of in-water sessions with varying topics. Attendees were also treated to a reception at Aqua-Tots Headquarters where they were greeted with sunshine and smiles. A great time was had by all who were able to attend. A huge thank you to all of our sponsors and exhibitors who joined us there as well! With having sold out exhibitor space this year, attendees were able to visit with existing partners as well as meet some new ones! If you weren’t able to attend the Spring Workshop, you can still access slides from the workshop in the USSSA portal. BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!
