Coach
Emmett Hines
Emmett Hines is Director and Head Coach of H2Ouston Swims.
He has coached competitive Masters swimming in Houston since 1982
was
selected as United States Masters Swimmings Coach of the Year in 1993
became
a Senior Coach for Total Immersion Swim Camps in 1995
and received the MACA
Lifetime Achievement Award in 2002. He has been coaching adult swimming for
over 20 years and is one of only 13 coaches to hold the ASCA Level 5 Masters
Certification.
His articles have been featured in Swim Magazine and he
writes a monthly column for Runner Triathlete News. He has had over 150
articles published in swimming and triathlon magazines and newsletters. Much
of his stuff has been purloined and illegally posted on the Internet. There
are even a couple places where his words have been stolen and presented as the
work of another
and that makes him mad (and his lawyer giddy).
You can purchase an autographed copy of his book
Fitness Swimming
which is in its third English language printing. It is also available in
French (entitled Natation
published by Vigot)
Spanish (entitled Natacion
published by Hispano Europea) and Chinese (entitled Jianshenyouyong).
Coach Hines has repeatedly been a featured speaker at the
American Swim Coaches Assn. World Clinic and at the Pacific Swimming Coaches
Clinic–two of the largest swim coaching clinics in the world.
In addition to coaching the H2O Masters group he works
privately with many clients (some travelling from as far away as Switzerland
and Australia) and serves on several USMS committees at the national level.
