Craig Arnold • Hmm, my one daughter has the strangest reflex. When she puts her face in the water she gasps through her nose and sucks up lots of water. Needless to say that induces panic long before she can get oriented enough to swim towards me. My older daughter never did this. So it's quite perplexing.She's very happy to push my head underwater, actually she loves doing that.

Beatriz Skeens • Yes, I've seen some children doing that too; glad not too many! It's difficult. Have you tried pouring water on her face in the tub, or taking a shower? When she is older, she may be one of those who used nose plugs or a mask that covers the nose. With an older sister, she'll want to swim after her!

Craig Arnold • Thanks for the advice. She does the same thing in the bath or shower. I've decided to try a snorkelling mask that covers her nose. At least that will allow us to get on with things until we can resolve the water-up-the-nose problem.

Beatriz Skeens • I think that would be best. She will need to practice breathing through her mouth. Do it together - hold your nose and breathe, maybe your other daughter too, so she will want to do it too. She won't feel weird... Even better if all three of you use a mask for a while. Hopefully, she'll get over it. I would love to know how it goes and what works!

Craig Arnold • It's her birthday next week, so she'll be getting the mask as one of her presents. I'm hoping simply having the mask will get her past the initial reflex and discomfort generated by having a lot of water up your nose and choking. All that happens with a scuba mask is you suck the mask on a bit tighter, but that shouldn't cause her to panic. If she can then start to enjoy being underwater and overcome the panic reflex she might then be able to start working without the mask and working on other water skills. Curiously she can actually put her mouth in the water and blow bubbles, but as soon as her nose goes under she has this huge reflex inhale through her nose

Its 6am, the sun is just up, and I’m strapping on goggles and preparing for my daily lap swim. It’s a passion I have. People often remark, “Laurie, you are so disciplined!” I say, “Actually I’m addicted”. Really, it’s my passion: I live to swim and...

Mircea Olaru • Dear laurie, [by Google translate...]

Swimming is the best way for man to feel 'otherwise' ... of those you get up at 6 am when you start to swim ...;

But swimming can be practiced as a sport performance [see nowadays racing program in Barcelona] and more recently,

As you test the effectiveness of exercise point of motion [correct technique swim] here a short attempting to explain the 3rd way swimming can become a particularly interesting ... even at 6 a.m.
-------------
<< Dear friends,

I want tell you about one new concept available our swim-sports
This is not for the elite ... But is very good for 'beginers' ... and for 'masters'

About 'BEST-formula' concept ....

What mean this new concept ...?:
[Attention: he CAN be aplicated / adapted for other sports-disciplins more]

With this formula we CAN calculated very easy, exactly, + mental mathematical way, the 'Individual Efficiency' + the personal best of each technique swim-style (4...)

This idea, She drifts from one ancient aforismus - 'Festina lente...!' (Suetonius);

In the swim-version That Means -

[P.I.G. + (K) - [Time in sec. + Stroke arms, tempo / 5om] = ....
points of the "Biomecanical Swimmming Efficiency Test" (BEST) ....

P.I.G. = Personal Index for Gliding ... to

[L + (K)] - [Kgr. + Q]

L. = extremely float longer in the position of the body (ventral).
(K) = 100 random points.
KG. = Weith
Q. = Circumf. of the Torax in max. Expiration (under armpits arms, 'like taylor')

Obs,:
1 PIG have constant value, every day ... [At least by one year] ....

2. Time and Stroke is changeable in every traning, every day ... for ex., PIG is 200 points if you CAN make sum of Time / in sec. (30 ") with Tempo / for 50m (30 mouvies) ... finally you CAN estimate your efficiency in every moment {200-60 = 140 points}, maybe the other day Will you swim Time = 27 "in 29 stroke rate, That mean 200-57 = 143 point, 140 is less than 143. .. That mean When you have more point - your ist better efficiency ....

3. PIG Give posibility to make eqaul seriys in one race [8 culvar x 190/210 pig points]

4. BEST [point of the efficiency] Can be Better If You Can Swim 'very fast [That mean less seconds] with less mouvies' ... But this event is Possible only desirable if you use only the best technique, belive me - with bad technique the resault Will Be bad, point down. For this reasson if you accept to use this new concept [less No. of Time (") + less Stroke / by lenght of pool] Will the results be good-this is a new addopt prove That you think to swim and, finally, you CAN use a better technique, with" BEST "Efficiency!

Recently in market can buy watch-counter to count number of every stroke [ see Swimnovate - Pool mate or FINIS watc-couter] and last big information comme from Bracelona -they construct one sistem to control every indicator of mouving in charge of every swimmer....

Have a nive day

Richard Bryant, CISSP • My own love for swimming is very similar, and I too had learned to become comfortable with the water at an early age, but only came to *love* the pool in these later years.

In my case I had begun playing tennis with my sons (and greatly enjoying it) when I began to develop arthritis in my hips. This devastated my "tennis habit" and was quite depressing.

Then one day about 4 years ago I was getting out of my truck and I happened to glance at the swimming pool that had literally been just a few steps outside my condo for years. I looked up and said ... "God, *surely* you don't want me to GET WET?!?!".

The next day I was in that pool and the love affair began. That first day I got in only 7 laps. For the first couple of years I would take an abacus with me and count each lap, but now I've cast that aside and just swim for the pure joy. When I get in that pool all pains fade away, and I am able to exercise again just as if I were a teenager.

One other thing I'll remark about swimming is that I don't believe the pool is properly appreciated by most people. This is because, as children, it was a place for carefree, unstructured play - usually during the brightest part of the day. However, the *real* benefit of the pool is in the support it provides for highly structured exercise (e.g. swimming laps) ... and I've found that early mornings and later in the evenings are much more pleasant. And, diametrically opposed to the childhood experience, swimming is not a time that is "care free" so much as it is a time to be meditative and sort out one's thoughts.

"Addiction" is a good word ... I think I'll borrow that!

(BTW, since starting swimming those 3+ years ago I've dropped 75 pounds as well - a trend that continues)

Mircea Olaru
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?

Allyson Sega • I liked Andrew's comment about starting off with the 8 and unders, as I think that is where so many of us start coaching. I personally think it is good to go back and work with the 8 and unders every so often, or teach a 3-5 year old to swim. I coach master's year round, but in the summer, I have a family I teach private lessons. They are very laid back and really just want the kids to be safe and enjoy their back yard pool. The kids are currently 8, 7 and 3 and I have been working with them since the oldest was 5. It is a great experience to be able to see swimming from a different angle. There have been more than a few occasions when I have notice a stroke problem with one of the kids and gone to practice and made my masters work on that skill.

Michele Greb • Mircea, Dr. Istvan Balyi is extremely well-known in Canada but you can probably find his details through a simple Google search. There will not be a private email address for him given out, but there will probably be a university email you can find. Dr. Balyi is very well known and extremely competent. As a Canadian, I know this too and am in awe of his knowledge and experience. Gary was providing a lead for us here in this group :-)

My personal opinion is that any coach, no matter how "head" they become, needs to be able to teach little kids how to blow bubbles with their noses and their very first strokes. It might not be economically feasible for a club to have their head coach do this regularly, but no swimmer springs fully grown from the water, ready for international caliber training. They all start as little kids and we all, coaches, need to remember that and how to keep it simple. Helps us as communicators :-)

Mircea Olaru • Michel dear... I apologize ... but do not know how it came to the doctor, I drew myself that resonates Hungarian name.

Bref, many times, especially when 'talking as a federal trainer' ... reproach national team coachs as not handle learning swimming.

The truth is that every lesson, every child in the water can give you more ideas or information that can then be applied to elite swimmers.

Thinking and the recent case of Michael P. who is interviewed, talking about the pleasure to be helpful to others to become like him.

I think Michel has a very good character and education - they are very necessary for a future champion, not a future 'stars' that any 'shooting star' can disappear quickly ...
Have a nice day....

Michele Greb • Mircea, it's all okay. I am very certain there are incredible coaches and researchers in Europe who are not familiar names to North Americans. It's a big world we live in!

It can be a bit difficult to bridge the gap between 12 & Under coaching to age group. It can be just as difficult finding an assistant who actually proves out when they move into age group and age group elite coaching. I know I am on the look out always for that special someone who can handle it and what I look for is almost completely NOT on the sports science side of coaching.

Anyone can learn why we coach, and what we coach, but plain and simple speaking, until that swimmer becomes senior national finalist level, we are all still spending most of our time teaching swimmers. Young coaches have this incredible tool called the internet that didn't exist in this form, back in the days of 1200 baud external US Robotics modems :-) It is so very easy to find out WHAT to coach now. HOW to coach it becomes the issue.

That and personality fit with the head coach. Best assistant I have ever had was simply amazing. I would be turning around to ask him to do something, or for something, and many times he would already be handing me what I was about to ask for. Asked so many questions, thought about what I would say, asked more questions, then came up with his own brilliant ideas. All with no sports science background. When he graduated from a masters in civil engineering and a year later took on a job in his field, I lost one of the best coaches I have had the pleasure to work with.

So Andrew, I think what I am saying to you is keep at it! Persevere in your search for the right place to make the next step. It will take a bit of time to find the right place and you WILL find many wrong places along the way. Just keep at it :-)
