UPB Offers Advanced Swimming Class

Ed Bahan, the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford’s head women’s and men’s swimming coach, is offering an advanced swimming class through June 25.

The class, which began April 19, but is still enrolling students, is open to swimmers age 9 and older with at least two years of competitive swimming experience.

Swimmers can choose which weekday sessions are the most convenient to attend. Through June 5, the sessions run from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. or 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. weekdays at the Duke Aquatic Center in the Sport and Fitness Center.

Between June 7 and June 25, swimmers can choose between a 6:30 to 8:30 a.m. session and a 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. session each weekday.

This class is designed to allow athletes to experience different types of training techniques for the sport of competitive swimming and to expose them to training for longer, more difficult collegiate events such as the 1000 freestyle, 1650 free, 400 individual medley, 200 butterfly, backstroke and breaststroke.

The cost is $175 for the entire program, but can be pro-rated.

Bahan is a six-time senior national competitor and a 1980 Olympic trial competitor with 22 years’ coaching experience. He was recently named the 2009 Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference Coach of the year for men, and co-coach of the year for the 2010 season for women.

Bahan will also hold summer swim clinics for children age 8 and older June 14 to 18 and June 21 to 25.
