Mircea Olaru • Hi Alison...,
Here's an interesting discussion ... I've watched with great interest the evolution of 'American age groups-system'.

Ever since Mrs. Beth Kaufman [the 1950s], in California, initiated the system of competitions for children [idea belonged, in fact, Australians and ended the war in the Pacific, Beth 'transferred' with great success in the USA].

The age groups gave many famous champions [Don Sholander, Mark Spitz, and even famous U.S. swimming team's current [M.Phepls and others].

But to be a good coach in 'age groups-system' do not need too much science or academic titles - it takes young enthusiasm that will make children love water and the instructor ..., it takes the simplest exercises and especially, I think, need to love children so much that they can not force them, small to become great champions to 'your glory'.

I have learned in my 50 years of coaching, about 20-25000 of children to swim and some of them have come in junior champions even adulthood.

I wish you much success as many beginners learn to swim as well .....

Andrew Sellers • Mircea,

Most of your average joe clubs in the US require their Head Coach to have age group coaching experience and the ability to recruit age group.

Science is vitally important and actually most US coaches I know have an education background. I started off as an 8 and under coach and now I coach swimmers 13-18. Coaching those younger swimmers and "paying my dues" kept me hungry.

Mircea Olaru • @Andrew...> I note that we do not understand ... is correct: I write with the help of Google translate and you speak English as I speak Romanian; though I know about the work of Beth Kaufman [in California 1950 ...] and you do not know anything about it ... What kind of scientific training is this?

I understand that you like the title of the chief points in the lead other coaches in charge of teaching swimming and promotion system age groups .... Ok, that's correct, but I like just to teach children to become good swimmers and when I was boss and responsible for all the coaches in my country ... I was very unhappy, because I have met many like you who 'knew' everything but probably not anything that ...

If you like to stay 'up' probably know what that means ... good luck ... but, if I were you, I would read again what little time I've posted before, good luck Andrew...

Andrew Sellers • Mircea, I think we may both be missing each other in translation. The science I was taught was in relation to the energy systems, how set up a training cycle and season planing. To be honest none of that was vital when I was coaching 8 and unders but because I was teaching those things back to my 8 unders they were learning it.

Test sets are also a vital science piece. I do 3 per month for 3 weeks on 1 week off cycle. Learned this coaching 10 & unders.

The most important aspect that comes with experience and why I would prefer to promote an age group coach is that if you can break the stroke down and explain it to an 8 and under then it easy to explain to an 13 & over.

I do keep on my education requirements and attend a clinic or two a year. I read regularly and ask those within my regional professional circle. I have always felt that as a coach I need to be life long learner, that is how I know I am still passionate. I do not know everything and never will. Plus I have seen and learned multiple ways to accomplish the same task. I am actually quietly looking for a senior assistant position to help me better my coaching career.

I really think we are saying the same thing?

Gary Vandermeulen • Dr Istvan Balyi from University of Victoria in Canada has some very interesting information on bringing children from young ages through to 'seasoned' veterans. I find his work very enlightening.
