    SIP 102: Consistent Dedication to the Mundane

    SIP 102: Consistent Dedication to the Mundane

    Consistent dedication to the mundane like streamline
    Everyone has excellent streamline habit (all the time without thought). That to NOT do a streamline would make the swimmer physically uncomfortable.
    A feeling that excellence is expected with allowance for failure, improvement, and progress.
    Swimmers feel watched, celebrated, and encouraged to improve through feedback, attention, and coaching.

    See "Finding Deliberate Practice," "SIP 052: Swimming is a Habit," and "SIP 067: Deliberate Practice."

    Your framework and routine should reinforce the key things you want to accomplish with your swimmers.

    My number one goals:


    Everyone has excellent streamline habit (all the time without thought). That to NOT do a streamline would make the swimmer physically uncomfortable.
    A feeling that excellence is expected with allowance for failure, improvement, and progress.
    Swimmers feel watched, celebrated, and encouraged to improve through feedback, attention, and coaching.

    Coach behavior on deck:

    If you see something to fix, you must say sometime.

    Avoid socializing and standing in one spot; unless resting.

    If you are expecting excellence, then excellence is expected OF you too.

    Enforce what you want done; non-enforcement = acceptable behavior.

    Know when to back off; you can still say something without demining or making someone feel bad.

    "You didn't streamline. Next time streamline."

    "You forgot the streamline." They nod and agree. "next time." You and they smile.

    SIP 100: A plan, a formula, a guide

    SIP 100: A plan, a formula, a guide

    This can be that guide for you.

    But… you need to know where you're going. What are you going to have as your plan? What is your formula for success going to be? How will you structure your swimming developmental program for fun and effective instruction.

    Fun. Children. Establishing habit. Enforcing excellence.


    You need to have a plan, a formula, and guide. Where are you going what are you intending to do? What are you intending and what are you pulling from?

    Define your minimum skill level.
    - Who will you accept?
    - What will your tryout be?
    - What will you be teaching, training, or working on in practices?

    Define your levels or grouping for developmental swimmers.
    - Will you be a single practice group or multiple?
    - What needs to be demonstrated before a swimmer moves out of your group?

    Define how you will structure your practices.
    - Which location
    - Lane size, distance, type
    - Maximum number of swimmers
    - How many coaches
    - What do coaches do in a practice?

    Define how you will write your practices.
    - What is important for you?
    - Yardage vs skill learning
    - How will you teach new skills in a way that allows failure, but doesn't promote bad habits?
    - Will there be fun baked in?
    ○ What do you define as fun?

    Define what your goals are for swimmers in your Developmental practices.
    - Fun?
    - Love of the sport
    - Drill work and skill focus
    - What does the coach want to do in the practice?
    - What do you want the swimmers to take from practices?

    Define competition
    - Can developmental swimmers go to swim meets?
    - Should they compete?
    - Starts?
    - Disqualifications.

    Write it down.

    SIP 098: Create Challenges and Games for Swim Lessons

    SIP 098: Create Challenges and Games for Swim Lessons

    How to come up with a game or a challenge.

    - Think of a core skill.
    - Put a roadblock into teaching that skill or performing it well
    ○ Examples
    - Evaluate whether it is fun
    ○ Achievable
    ○ Simple
    ○ Too difficulty
    ○ Teaching the wrong skill
    ○ Relevant enough to the original skill

    Games:

    - Think of a core skill, but in more broad terms like:
    ○ Streamlines
    ○ Gliding
    ○ Movement
    ○ Buoyancy
    ○ Pushing on water
    - Create rules and goals
    - Goals are objectives: what the people do, ideally doing the skill you want them to work on, or a target by which the swimmers must do the skill you want to work on to succeed.
    - Rules are the roadblocks, or the conditions that lead to struggle and learning
    - Evaluate whether or not they're fun.
