With gala season coming up the role of the parent is more important than ever. Yes parents you have an important role to play, with many parts including cheerleader, taxi driver, finacial backer, kit manager, nutritional support and volunteer. We do not underestimate the important roll of the parent, all we as coaches ask in return is your support our decisions and let us do our job, we need to see your swimmer straight after they race so we can give them feedback to help them get better so if they come to you say "well done now go see your coach, I'm proud of you". All of our staff are qualified with years of experience and we will be working with your swimmer on different tatics and technical points so the less input on these areas they get from elsewhere the less confussion the swimmer suffers and the quicker they will improve.
Please read the following article as it is interesting and has some great advice. Thank you for your support.
