New addition: Presidents Notes

From March 2018, there will be a new addition to the SWSC website. It will be called ‘Presidents Notes’.

These notes are aimed for competitive swimmers and their parents. They will be based around a new theme every month and will be published on the Competitive page.

Take a look below:

General Introduction:

Most swimming books are aimed at coaches and are highly technical. These notes instead are aimed at competitive swimmers and their parents. What I’ll try to do is present a single theme monthly. The opinions are my own (and so are any errors), but they are designed to make you think and to start discussion. They are the product of nearly five decades of coaching and observing elite swimming, but also stem from my background as a professional biological educator and researcher. I welcome questions, comments and criticisms from swimmers, and also from parents and club coaches (but directly not electronically). These notes are not designed to replace your interactions with your club coaches (and will all be approved by Director of Aquatics and Head Coach Richard Cassidy). Good interactions with your coaches are absolutely essential to optimising performance [….] Click here to continue reading
