How To Increase Your Stroke Rate,

[Effortless Swimming] How To Increase Your Stroke Rate, Sprinting Tip & Are Coaches Necessary

From

• Brenton Ford

To

• Scanave

A simple way to swim faster...increase your
stroke rate.

If you can swim the same distance per stroke
and increase your rate, you'll swim faster.

Simple right!

Of course there is a bit more to it, but this is
my suggestion to swimmers on how to
increase their stroke rate in open water.

Watch Video 1

On a similar note, my squad has been
getting good improvement in their sprints.

There's two things we've focused on to do
this. One is stroke rate, but the other you
might not have heard of yet.

Watch Video 2

As an athlete you will have experimented with
different ways to train, race and improve.

You might have also trained under a coach
and on your own. I'm often asked if a coach
is required in order to be successful as an
athlete.

I've seen both work, but you might want to
consider this before going out on your own...

Un an olimpic a cam trecut .....

JO 2016 Brezil....

   Solar City Town, Rio - 2016

 

Semnul de Bun Venit la Olimpiada de la Rio din 2016
"Turnul Orasului Solar", construit pe varful insulei Cotonduba,
va fi simbolul de bun venit la Jocurile Olimpice de la Rio din 2016.

El va putea fi vazut de vizitatorii si participantii la jocuri cand vor sosi pe calea aerului sau a apei.

Turnul capteaza energia solara. El va furniza energie pentru intreg orasul olimpic, precum si unei parti din Rio.

Apa este pompata din ocean pentru a crea un fel de cascada, iar aceasta cascada actioneaza turbine care produc energie in timpul noptii.

Tot aici se va afla si flacara olimpica.

Turnul dispune de un amfiteatru, o sala de teatru, un restaurant si magazine. Lifturile vor conduce catre diferite locuri de observare.

Exista, de asemenea, o platforma retractabila pentru practicarea bungee jumping-ului.

La varf, exista un punct de observare de unde se va putea aprecia privelistea uscatului si a marii, precum si cascada.
Turnul Orasului Solar va fi punctul de atractie al Jocurilor Olimpice de la Rio din 2016.

ROLUL PARINTILOR.....

THE ROLE OF THE PARENT (SUPPORT, RESPONSIBILITY ETC) IN THE AGE GROUP SWIMMERS' LIFE.

I would appreciate some feedback relating the this topic. I have found that a large percentage of "age group parents" lack the drive, interest, responsibility and dedication to fully assist the head coach in the strive for full development of the swimmers' abilities.

In my opinion, it is almost impossible for a swimmer to reach FULL potential if not fully supported by their parent/s. I'm sure that I'm not alone but I really have a lot of issues relating to this subject. Of course, parents expect great results without putting in the required effort.

What are your feelings on this topic?

Jay Weerman • Hello,

My feelings are that at some point in every program, there needs to be an acceptance interview. The most successful clubs in my area will not even allow kids on the team unless they meet some minimum standards, along with reviewing expectations for both the parents and swimmers. These clubs have the advantage of a very healthy feeder program in summer clubs, but it can be done within a team.

For instance, I will allow anyone to try the "beginner group". If they want to move into the more serious group, a sit down meeting with parents and swimmer complete with expectations of the group, the swimmer and parents is mandatory. By telling them ahead of time, they know what they are getting into and that everyone on that level is following the same expectations. Even better, it takes another interview just to get "invited" to 5:00 am practices, with strict attendance and a "No Issues" policy (bathroom breaks, skipping sets, missing practice, even goggle issues).

It is difficult to introduce this to an established group of parents, but you can put the policies in place for those moving up or in, and make a game out of it for those that are already there. Reward the swimmers of parents that give the extra effort, and the other swimmers will get their parents to give extra as well

They can keep their results to themselves; however, they know how they stand., Check out www.gamesgimmickschallenges.com/coaching resources for the parent questionaaire; Are You A Winning Parent.

Marcel Da Ponte • Thanks guys! I totally agree although as we know, parents can sometimes be a species on their own. This advice will be very helpful indeed.

Bob, I like the idea of placing the burden on the parent in the sense that they will see the results without having to "report" back to the coach.

Jay, what you say is very true! At the first club (which I owned) that I coached at, I made the mistake of "letting the parents run me" as a coach, instead of me taking the reigns and running the club. Huge mistake! I think it's extremely important that parents understand that the coach is in charge.

Dan Lynch • For a coach to be successful, they must first be an advocate for the swimmers. If the parents see the coaches "real" interaction to the athlete from age group to senior, they will understand the interaction and begin follow. Lead, and they will follow. Got to have a solid plan.
