And if we forgot to recognize your contribution please email [email protected] – no oversight intended! Kathy and Karen For the Swim-a-thon athletes in each squad were asked to come up with “coaches' incentives”; special re- quests, practices or things they wanted which the staff promised to provide or make happen should the squad's total dollar amount exceed $200 per athlete. Coaches' Incentives... Coach Kara (MS) “Let the swimmers pick what they to do for swim practice for the day” Coach Tim (HS) “Relays all Day” Coach Ben (THUNDER) “Have the seniors help and give tips on our swimming in practice, plus pick the senior athlete of their choice (the last part will be a little tricky, but we'll do our best) Coach Ben (SECT & NAT) “Fun workout like burpee tag, partner sled pulls, group races” Coach Ruth (STORM) “Relays all Day” Coach Ruth (JAG) “Swimmer is coach for the day (squad's top money earner)” Coach Franz (TAG, SECT, NAT) “Use cameras for Tech” Coach Linck (SECT & NAT) “let us work with little kids” (that fits perfect with the THUNDER incentive!)

These important meets are closing in, I hope THUNDERBOLT Spring Open, May 4-6; all athletes entered, entries to be posted online at everyone is doing all they can to be prepared! www.thunderboltdswimming.org. The MAC meet came up a little short of expectations as the competitions were less than desirable. Although the fact was that all events were “mixed”, girls and boys competing side by side, it did make for some interesting races. The venue was uncomfortable (in the basement, a little claustrophobic, loud and hot) and the total time was more than expected. I had hope to get in and out in 3-4 hours, and 5 hours later we were still going. Combine the issues above with the fact that we're in the midst of heavy training, so our results also came up short of expectations. Racing early in the season seemed like a good idea, perhaps it proves there is such a thing as a “bad idea”. We decided not to return on Sunday and get back to the training with our sights set on the competitions listed at the top. Corvallis Open, May 18-19; all non-Mel Zajac athletes will be entered. Mel Zajac International, May 25-27, Vancouver, BC, Canada. Qualifying times are published inside this Courier and online at www.thunderboltdswimming.org. To be eligible athletes must hit two (2) qualifying times at the Spring Open.

Commitment To Success Jim/Gracie Goddard Andrew/Kim Chi Vu Chris Rudolph/Tammy Brennan Dairy Queen – Farmington Sunset Bowling Sweet Tomatoes Grocery Outlet – 185th Ave Page 8 Thunder and Bolts This season is off and running. We have been introducing several new skills, and giving some of our newest members time to get accustomed to the flow of things before we get up to full speed preparing for this summer’s meet schedule. Some New skills Pulling – This season has seen the introduction to pulling. Coaching the pulling patterns of each stroke is more simply accomplished when isolated from the full stroke. The goal is to increase the efficiency of each stroke, by eliminating wasted movement. We have introduced two styles of pulling, pulling with a board and pulling with a partner. Dolphin Kicking position – The dolphin kicking position that we are using this season is an advanced variation of dolphin kick. On the front with the hands at the side requires the swimmer to get the breath within the rhythm of the kick. Finding this breath timing is one of the critical elements to mastering butterfly swimming. Backstroke Kicking position – The Backstroke kicking position that we are using this season is a break from the standard “streamline kick on your back”. Kicking on your back with your hands at your side is actually more similar to backstroke swimming position than streamlining. Another benefit to kicking with the hands at the side, is that you can see your own kick. Getting the visual feedback of seeing your kick is valuable to all athletes, especially visual learners. Breaststroke Drills – Breaststroke with a Dolphin kick and Breaststroke with flutter kick are 2 important drills for developing rhythm between the breath, pull, and recovery. As we get into this season, remember that quality is the most important thing. Take pride in your ability to perform skills correctly. Not necessarily first, or fastest, but correctly. Important schedule change; No Dryland for Team Thunder this Thursday April 19th. See you at the pool, Coach Ben [email protected] Schedule change: No practice for all squads, which includes Olympic Way this Friday and Saturday (4/20-4/21) due to polo tournament. SCRIP There is no scrip this week since Tammy is on family holiday. Commitment To Success Page 9 Olympic Way HOW TO HELP YOUR CHILD AT SWIM PRACTICE The best thing you can do is to encourage your children to “have fun, be safe, and play smart”. After practice ask them if they had fun and learned anything new or did anything they had never done before and offer your praise. Sometimes children will express feelings to their parents that may help the coach provide a more suitable environment for the individual. You are encouraged to talk to the coach about your child’s responses to the practice sessions. coach’s instructions and then you have a confused child. Sometimes you might think the child did not hear the coach’s instruction and you want to help. The fact is that children miss instructions all the time. Part of the learning process is learning how to listen to instructions. When children learn to rely on a backup they will have more difficulty learning how to listen better the first time. WHAT’S WRONG WITH HELPING YOUR CHILD FIX HIS EQUIPMENT? Quite simply, we want to encourage the children to become self-reliant and learn to take care of If you decide to watch practice the most impor- their own equipment. tant thing you can do is allow your child to focus on the coach and on the tasks at hand.

There are two issues. First we want the child to focus on the coach and to learn the skill for their personal satisfaction rather than learning it to please their parents. Secondly, parental encouragement often gets translated into a command to swim faster or run faster and going faster may be the exact opposite of what the coach is trying to accomplish. In most skill development we first slow the athletes down so that they can think through the motions. Save encouragements and praise for after the practice session. ciation.
