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!)

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,

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.

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.

CHILD FIX HIS EQUIPMENT?
Quite simply, we want to encourage the children

lished by the American Swimming Coaches AssoWHAT’S WRONG WITH ENCOURAGING
YOUR CHILD DURING PRACTICE?
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
