The following series of articles is sent to us weekly by the American Swim Coaches Association (ASCA). They are for educational purposes for both parents and swimmers, as many of the articles provide content worth reading. The content varies greatly from 'the swimmer's side' topics such as nutrition, meet preparation, move-ups, new training groups, goal setting, handling the ups and downs of training, to the 'parent's side' topics, including dealing with disappointment, helping your swimmer set goals, commitments to the team and volunteering.
We will add the most recently received articles at the top of the list.
