This year’s theme, “Grassroots to Podium: It Starts With Us,” celebrates the full coaching journey! From swim lessons and age group foundations to senior development and international success. Every breakthrough in our sport begins with a coach willing to learn, reflect, and grow. That coach is you.

From game-changing ideas and hands-on demonstrations to meaningful conversations and professional connections, the 2026 World Clinic is designed to help you sharpen your craft and strengthen your impact.

Whether you're a swim teacher, age group coach, senior coach, new assistant, or club leader, this is your chance to connect the dots between daily work on deck and long-term athlete success, from grassroots to podium.
