Staff Advancement at the Y

So this whole things has got me wondering:  Are the hard-working staff at the Y given opportunities to advance, professionally?

I ask this because when the Son started, there was a coach who was very well-respected by his peers.  He coached the Midwest Zones team, for example, when the Son swam down in Pleasant Prairie, and won National Recognition.  Michael Hanson, recently sacrificed because of cost-cutting, also was a Zones coach.  So historically the Y has had quite excellent, well-thought-of coaches.

Is that still the case?  Son does like the coaching staff, and I have no complaints about them.  But are they as highly regarded state-wide as the past coaching staff who have left/been let go?

Do the coaches that are there have the opportunity to go to off-site coaching clinics to enhance their abilities?

I hope so.
