Getting in Synch​
Synchronized Swimming Blog, Games & Coaching Tips for New Coaches
Websites
There is a lot of information on the web today and when you do a quick google search it is difficult to find what the best link is. Here are some of my frequently visited sites that you should bookmark!
Synchro Canada
This one might seem obvious however the Synchro Canada website is an important tool for any Canadian synchro coach. I mainly use it for checking event dates and results (the new brodcasting through Sport Canada is great) but recently I found their concussion information particularly helpful when I had an athlete with a concussion!

Synchro Manitoba
Finally, to cover all of my bases, if you don't already you should check out the Synchro Manitoba site if you are an coach in Manitoba. Not only is it important to know the events that are going on locally but there is local news and rules on the site as well that all coaches should be framilier with.

The Online Synchro Coach
This is hands down my favorite synchro blog to follow. A big shout out to Canadian coach Vanessa Keenan for putting together such a great site. Definitly something to check out for any synchro coach.
Esynchro
Esynchro is a great resource over all. They sell some great coaching resources and when I have communicated with them they have great customer service. I also love their 'Tuesday Synchro Tips' and often screen shot them so that I can use them during figure training for the girls to have a visual aid.

Sport Manitoba
Another obvious site but an important one for any coach in Manitoba. Don't forget to check out the Coaching Manitoba page to see current coaching courses, workshops and events. I also always like to check out the grants and scholarships page.

Global DRO
As an athlete this was my favorite website to look at to make sure my advil or allergy meds weren't suddenly banned. As a coach I now love to share this site with my athletes and parents so that we all know that any meds the girls are on aren't banned.

Coach.ca
Coach.ca is not just to check on your NCCP transcript. Make sure to take advantage of the online courses that they offer (most of them free and show up on your transcript) as well as their coach magazine!

Fit Communications
Fit Communications is a company ran by two Manitoban sisters and synchro judges. Although it isn't synchro specific blog, there is a great fitness and lifestyle blog on their site that is a great read.
