GoSwim GoldPic of the Week - The Coach
0 commentsCoaches need to continue to spend time inventing, creating, or just taking the time to step back and teach.
When is it time to throw your practice in the trash?
All coaches and teachers should start every session with a plan, but sticking to the plan line-by-line doesn't always make for a productive practice.
Buffalo Team Camp
For years, it's been a dream to ride a motorcycle across the country, stopping along the way to visit teams. I figured it would be a good way to see what the real swim teams are doing, but real life has a way of getting in the way of dreams.

Swimming Question of the Week - December 8, 2010
Very simple question about coaching this week. If you're not a coach, think about applying this to your specific job (that is of course... if you really love what you do). ;)

Swimming Pic of the Week - October 21, 2010
Our friend Cullen Jones made an appearance with the Asphalt Green Unified Aquatics swim team this week. Here are a couple pictures showing how the swimmers reacted to him. Hard to look at these without smiling... at least for me.
All-Strokes - Watch
With so much swimming, racing, training, or coaching, motivating, teaching... when was the last time you just sat back and watched people swim.
Swimming Set of the Week - October 8, 2010
This week's set provides opportunities to bring the team together by having everyone go on the same sendoff. The drill/kick set is a good chance to get everyone focusing on the same technique points. The main set brings everyone together, but provides challenges for sprinters and distances swimmers alike.
Freestyle - Donut Catch
Building a great catch in freestyle takes focus, using simple, inexpensive tools ads a creative way to get your swimmers to focus out front.
Swimming Question of the Week - September 9, 2010
September seems to be the month when many teams begin a new season. What do you hope to accomplish during the first two weeks of the season? (Please tell us if you're answering as a coach or swimmer.)
Clearwater Coaches Clinic
I know this is very late notice, but just read about this coaches clinic going on over the next few days in Florida. Check out the list of speakers.
