Download or read book How to Create Fun and Effective Developmental Swim Practices written by Jeffrey Napolski and published by . This book was released on 2016-09-22 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometimes coaching competitive swimming can be as easy as writing a set on a whiteboard and letting your swimmers push off the wall at the right time doing the correct stroke or drill. But that is boring. That isn't really coaching. Developmental swimming establishes habit, tone, and technique. We are the first contact many young people have to the sport of swimming. We need to provide a stimulating, fun, encouraging and exciting experience to capture those new swimmers and keep them throughout their career. We have to compete against football, soccer, the Nintendo Switch, Minecraft, and a whole world of other activities and sports. Your developmental program is crucial to the success of your competitive swimming club or team. Do you want to have swim parents that tell your coaches, "she LOVES swimming. She begs me to let her come all fours days of practice," or "He gets mad at me when he can't come to practice... so here we are!" I regularly hear from my participant's parents how much their kids "love swimming," love coming to practice, and how much fun they have. We have fun at swim team. We play games, do activities that are challenging and stimulating, and provide targeted effective instruction so our swimmers improve rapidly while establishing essential habits that will carry them to performance success. I've been coaching with a competitive USA Swimming Level 4 team full-time for 10 years. In that time I've coached state champions, had 8 year-olds qualify for regionals and state, and played hundreds of games with varying results. Learn from my mistakes. Learn from my failures. See how I've iterated with the help of my assistant coaches and swimmers to create a framework that produces effective instruction along with fun activities and games designed to stimulate attention, foster deliberate practice and produce results. We'll look at how you can cram every minute of your practices full of deliberate practice opportunities. Discover how to build short distance sets with multiple attempts to teach complicated strokes like breaststroke and butterfly to beginners. Save time, confusion, and the rigors of trial and error by reading this quick book. You'll have better, more effective and more fun practices immediately!

Download or read book Swim Speed Secrets for Swimmers and Triathletes written by Sheila Taormina and published by VeloPress. This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Swim Speed Secrets, 4-time Olympian, gold medalist, and triathlon world champion Sheila Taormina reveals the swim technique used by the world’s fastest swimmers. Over the course of 4 Olympic Games and throughout her career as a world champion triathlete, Taormina refined her exceptional technique as a student of the sport, studying the world’s best swimmers using underwater photographs and video analysis. From Johnny Weissmuller to Michael Phelps, the world’s fastest swimmers share two common elements: high stroke rate and a high-elbow underwater pull. Many swimmers and triathletes neglect the underwater pull, distracted by stroke count or perfecting less critical details like body position, streamlining, and roll. Swim Speed Secrets focuses on producing power—the most crucial element of swimming—to help triathletes and swimmers overhaul their swim stroke and find the speed that’s been eluding them. With a commonsense approach that comes from decades of practice and years of hands-on coaching experience, Taormina shows swimmers how to transition to faster swimming. Swim Speed Secrets includes: The best drills to cultivate a more sensitive feel for the water Dryland and strength building exercises to develop arm position and upper body musculature Crisp photos of Olympic swimmers and variations in their high-elbow underwater pull Clear descriptions of the key moments of the underwater pull Tips that helped her perform at a world-class level for two decades Sheila Taormina’s Swim Speed Secrets brings the focus back where it belongs—to a powerful underwater stroke. With this approach, triathletes and swimmers can stop swimming for survival and break through to new levels of speed and confidence in the water.
