Jacob has coached part-time for RST, SwimTucson in AZ, the Eugene Y and Springfiled High School since 2003. Jacob states that his goals for the Novice program are as follows: The Novice group is all about stroke work; learning how to do the strokes correctly, legally, etc., and learning the basic fundamentals of the four strokes, along with turns and starts. In addition to the focus on strokes, he also wants the kids to have fun while they are at practice. The overall goal is for them to want to continue swimming after they are out of the Novice group and he is there to make sure that they enjoy swimming while he teaches them how to be successful swimmers.
