EP20 - How do you get a swimmer comfortable on your team?

This week we discuss helping new swimmers become part of the team. This can be as easy as providing a cap and shirt to having designated swimmers and parents as helpers as the new swimmer and family adjust to the team. We cover the issues and provide some best practices that might help new swimmers feel more comfortable on your team.

The ONLY podcast dedicated to club swimming!

In this episode, we discuss the history and evolution of the underwater dolphin kick. Known as the "5th Stroke," this powerful skill was not always seen as beneficial to swimmers. It wasn't until 1988 at the elite swimmers showed the world the power of an underwater dolphin kick and forced the start of several rule changes to diminish its use. We explore this history and talk through the technique and advantages underwater dolphin kicks have for swimmers -- faster, saves energy and so much more. As always, advice for coaches, swimmers and parents are provided throughout the podcast. So, welcome to SwimEd ... Let's dive in!
