This Is the Clinic Coach Ron Runs When He Shows Up at Your Pool.

$19.95

One hour. Your staff runs it. Your kids love it. You'll know if OtterBall belongs at your pool.

Every time Coach Ron visits a facility, he runs the same session. Eggbeater on land. Wall work. Drills. Game. One hour. Staff walks out tired, smiling, and sold on OtterBall.

This guide is that clinic. Everything he covers in person is in these pages — the progressions, the whistle system, the drills, the game. Print it out. Keep it forever.

The only difference is Ron won't be there. Your staff will run it themselves.

Here's what happened the first time Mekayla at the Kroc Center ran OtterBall:

"Our first session had 8 kids and they are already telling their friends to join next season. By day two they had team names, cheers, and secret handshakes. The families were cheering from the sideline. Completely exceeded expectations — and what surprised me most was how well kids of all levels could play and enjoy it together. If you're looking for a program to relight the spark in your youth aquatics, do OtterBall."

Is OtterBall Right for Your Pool?

Aquatic directors and recreation supervisors who want to experience OtterBall firsthand before committing to the full program.

Participants should be proficient swimmers — comfortable in deep water, able to swim 25 yards of freestyle, and able to do a basic breaststroke.

If you're asking "is OtterBall right for my pool?" — this is where you find out.

The Part Directors Don't Realize

If you have a sharp instructor and your kids can swim — 25 yards of freestyle, a basic breaststroke, comfortable in deep water — they don't need to wait for a staff clinic.

A good instructor can take this guide, run it with participants this week, and have a legitimate OtterBall session going before the weekend. No visit from Ron required. No certification. No additional training.

That's not a sales pitch. That's just the truth about how well this age group responds when they already have the water skills to play.

This is a staff development tool. But in the right hands, with the right swimmers, it's also a ready-to-run program that solves your retention problem starting now.

What Changes at Your Pool

Fuller pool hours. Better retention in the 8-14 age group. A program kids ask to come back to.

Your swimmers who are done with traditional lessons but not ready for competitive swim finally have somewhere to go. They improve without feeling like they're in a lesson. They stay. And those are exactly the kids who become your next generation of staff.

Your instructors run it from the deck or in the water. No WSI certification required. A good instructor reads this guide, runs the session, and knows exactly what to do next time.

And if you've ever watched a strong instructor burn out from being in the water six hours a day — this gives them a program they can run dry. They teach better. They last longer. They actually look forward to running it.

Your Director Conversation Gets Easier

Better retention numbers. Fuller pool hours. A program families ask for by name.

That's not just better programming. That's a stronger case at budget time — with the numbers to back it up.

What You Get

• A complete one-hour session your staff can run this week — so you know exactly whether OtterBall belongs in your program before you commit to anything else.
• Your staff teaches the eggbeater correctly from day one — including the OtterStroke, a stroke Coach Ron invented that makes your instructors more effective in the water and out of it. Better lifeguards. Better teachers.
• Full game control from the first whistle — four signals, clearly explained, so your instructor runs the pool with confidence instead of chasing chaos.
• Kids stop standing around and start playing — essential drills and a live scrimmage that show your team exactly why this age group comes back week after week.
• Everything your staff needs at a glance during their first session — a Quick Reference page with rules, signals, equipment, and key teaching points so nobody fumbles through pages mid-drill.

Think of This as the Audition

This guide covers one session. It is an introduction to OtterBall, not the full program.

After running this session your staff will understand how OtterBall works, why kids love it, and how to deliver it. When you're ready to reach the kids who can't swim yet — the older beginners, the underserved communities, the teenagers who missed early instruction — that's what the OtterBall Implementation Manual is built for.

Together they cover your entire 8-14 age group. Every skill level. Complete program.

But that's a decision for after the clinic. Right now the only question is whether OtterBall works at your pool.

Run the session. Find out.

PS — Run the session before you decide anything else. Watch what happens when your kids pick team names and start cheering for each other. Watch your instructor actually look forward to getting on deck.

That's when it clicks. And if it doesn't — email me. Full refund, no questions. But I don't think I'm wrong.
