What are the best resources for a new synchro coach? Books, videos, coaching clinics, etc?

I think for teaching figures, you would better have a pre-study over the Fina Hand Book and watching Figures videos simultaneously.
But for training Routines watching more videos resulting in better coaching.

I would register with USA Synchro. Begin the new coaches training online. Find out who is the head of your association. I think you might be in the PNA Assoc (Pacific Northwest Association) I would also recommend attending a meet where other coaches and judges are present and they can possibly set up a Level I judges training class for you to take.
I am also available for questions anytime. I was a swimmer for 11 years and currently run a club in SW Florida. I have a passion for helping new coaches get started with the correct knowledge base.
Contact me anytime on this forum or via email at sunshinesynchrosplash@gmail.com

BTW... I swam for Tacoma Synchronized Swim Club for 10 of my 11 years. I visit the NW at least once a year.
