Welcome to
being a swim parent. This is by no means an easy task.
There are so many rules in swimming that it makes it difficult for
the new swim parent to know what is going on. Most parents
have grown up playing basketball, baseball, soccer and when it
comes to swimming....most are in the dark on rules and the
technique of each stroke.
Part of
coaching is not only to coach the swimmers, but to coach the
parents. This is what I intend to do through parent meetings
and through online information. Announcements for parent
meetings will be given periodically for "sit down" meetings.
It is important that at least one parent attend these
meetings. We will go over important things like, what to
bring to a swim meet, how do I register for a swim meet, where do I
find the results of a swim meet, etc. Below, you will find
some links to begin your "online learning" program. I
hope this will begin to open your eyes to the world of
swimming!
