2026 ASCA World Clinic 

Grassroots to Podium: It Starts With Us 

September 9–12, 2026 | Orlando, Florida | Rosen Centre Hotel 


Experience Four Days of Innovation, Learning, and Connection at the 2026 ASCA World Clinic!


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. 


Join coaches from across the country and around the world for an extraordinary event where every level of coaching is valued and every voice matters. 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.   


What to expect in 2026? 

  • Facilitated Discussion Groups - Join structured follow-up discussions after select talks to connect with other coaches, exchange ideas, and continue shaping your coaching voice and philosophy. 
  • Robust Age Group Track - An even stronger age group track with practical tools, drills, sets, progressions, and practical takeaways you can bring straight back to your team on Monday. 
  • Endless Pool Teaching in Action - More in-water demos across all strokes and age groups. 
  • 30-Minute Deep-Dive Talks - Additional short-format sessions focused on specific topics and interests to bring a broader mix of specialties, tracks, and coaching conversations.
