decades ago, a lot of mistakes were made
along the way.
A coach had to learn
not to swat a girl on the
backside while saying
good job as he would
with the boys. A male
coach who makes that
mistake today could
lose his job.
What once was
thought of as a sim-
ple, factual request for
+ lcm+lc to losc 10
pounds, we now know can cause eat-
ing oisorocrs in young womcn llc losc

the code phrase: You need to raise your

considerate and caring when he picked up
or drove an athlete home from practice.
Now it is rccommcnoco tl+t co+clcs ncvcr
be alone with an athletenot even for a
private goal-session meeting.
A coach who does not comply with
current coaching behaviors is a potential
candidate for abuse allegations.
llc bcst +ppro+cl to oc+ling witl
female athletes, male coaches say, is com-
mon sense and prudence. But are there
different approaches to coaching women
versus coaching men? Absolutely!
Women take things a little more per-
son+lly,` lom liCicco, lormcr LS Socccr
coach once pointed out in an interview
with the Boston Globe. He noticed that
when he was critiquing a mens team,
each male player assumed that the coach
was addressing everybody else but him.
However, when he
talked to the wom-
ens squad, he said,
each player thought
the coach was speak-
ing to her.
Coach Dave
Marsh, who won
seven mens and
livc womcns NCAA
swimming titles at
Auburn, once said,

Statesand feature some of the lesser-name
swimmers (i.e., other than Michael Phelps,
N+t+lic Cougllin, losukc lit+jim+, lciscl

some noise in Irvine, along with some other
fascinating storylines and subplots.
CANADA
One of the youngest members of Canadas

Russellwhose brother, Colin, 25, is
also on the teamhas had to battle through
a significant amount of family-related con-
troversy to become one of Canadas up-and-
coming womens backstroke stars.
Sinead and Colins father, Cecil, has been
a lightning rod for controversy in Canada.
In 1997, tlc l+tlcr w+s b+nnco lor lilc lrom

ring. He later was arrested as part of an ecsta-

1997 lc l+s sincc +ttcmptco
to return to the sport and
failed, but he still has
been seen
on deck at his club, the Dolphins Swim
Club.
One might think that so much bad press
would lead Sinead and Colin to pursue
another athletic venture, but the duo has
thrived in swimming the past few years.
Colin has become one of the top freestylers
in Canada, while Sinead has continued to
perform well after qualifying for the World
Championships in Rome last summer and
making the Pan Pac roster this summer.

USA SWIMMING RELEASES BANNED-FOR-

LIFE LIST
Reacting to pressure from the media as well as
its own membership due to recently revealed issues with
sexual abuse within the sport, USA Swimming made its
Banned-for-Life list public. There were 46 people on
the original list, including former national team director
Everett Uchiyama, who served as the head of the nation-
al team as the interim director (2002-04) before taking
over the permanent position until being banned in 2006.
CRIPPEN, SUTTON WIN 10K U.S. OPEN
WATER NATIONAL TITLES
Fran Crippen and Chloe Sutton each won their
respective 10K races during the U.S. Open Water National
Championships, held in Long Beach in June. The swim
served as the qualifying event that selected the swimmers
who will represent the USA at the World Open Water
Championships and Pan Pacific Championships. The top
two finishers each made Worlds, while the top four qualified
for Pan Pacs. Chip Peterson, Andrew Gemmell and Alex
Meyer finished behind Crippen in second-through-fourth
place, while Christine Jennings, Eva Fabian and Emily
Brunemann grabbed the next three spots behind Sutton.
PASSAGES
Olympic gold medalist Maria Corridon Mortell, 80,
passed away in late May. She won a gold medal at the
1948 London Olympics as part of the 400 free relay for the
United States. Former Stanford head coach Tom Haynie,
94, also passed away in late May at a care facility in Santa
Barbara. Haynie coached some impressive swimmers dur-
ing his tenure at Stanford (1947-60), including Olympic
gold medalists George Harrison and Paul Hait.

At the time, Evans was already the
world record holder in the event and reign-
ing Olympic champion. She could have
coasted to an easy win and still been con-
sidered the greatest female distance free-
styler in history. But the three-time Olympic
champion was shooting for another acco-
lade that was arguably as important as
Olympic gold.
I thought if I could break the world
record, I could win the Sullivan Award
(given each year to the top amateur athlete
in the United States), and I did based on
that performance, Evans said.

Some of that might have been because it

was visibly nervous about the possibility

It was a great moment, but at the time
we didnt think it was anything out of the
ordinary, said Jager, now head coach of
the Idaho swim team. We thought this
was a normal event where Americans are
supposed to break world records anyway.
Jager wasnt originally supposed to
swim tlc 50 lrcc in lokyo lc l+o bccn

nationals a few weeks earlier that had
served as the selection meet for the Pan

aware of the record bonanza taking place.
When you get a team like that together,
it gets contagious, Jager said. I think we
were just jealous, which is natural, and there
was a feeling that if I want to get my name in

At almost any meet, whenever you take a glance at the swimmers
in the pool or look at a heat sheet, you very quickly see that there
are more female swimmers. Now look at the officialsis the same
observation true? Probably not, which is why so many people over
the years have asked, Where are the women officials?
Its also why the Women in Officiating initiative began.
At the LSC level, about 42 percent of our officials are women,
notes Pat Lunsford, vice president of program operations for USA
Swimming. However, when you get to the national level, this num-
ber is reduced to approximately 29 percent.
We would like to see this number increase in future years, adds
Lunsford. At the foundation, this program is really about encourag-
ing and supporting every official, male or female, to be the best official
he or she can be.
The initiative informally began when officials gathered at national
meets to answer some key questions: How do we recruit more
women into entry-level officiating? How do we encourage and sup-
port them to advance to upper levels? What do we need to do to
develop more women referees and starters? How do we retain sea-
soned officials?
The answers to these questions became the foundation for
the task force that was officially formed last fall. The mission is to
encourage, promote and retain women officials at all levels of USA
Swimming.
We hope to promote a culture that not only encourages women
to enjoy and excel in their roles as officials, but engages them to
advance in other roles in USA Swimming, says Jeannine Dennis, the
task force chair. Bottom line: I hope that we will get no extra atten-
tion on or off deck, and that it simply becomes a matter of course.
Not just directed at womenbut all officialstheir vision is that
the officiating community will:
|ostc| an att|tuoc o| oo|tun|ty |n w||c| g|cat o|||c|a|s can cxcc|
in an environment in which they feel comfortable.

|cvc|o a cu|tu|c t|at |s ba|||c|-||cc |n w||c| a|| o|||c|a|s cmb|acc.
mentor and train the next generationwhich in turn, opens them
to new opportunities.
In the upcoming months, the task force will be conducting
research to identify the strategies that have successfully encouraged,
promoted and retained women officials throughout the country.
This information will be used to develop and implement programs
that will replicate that success.
Amy Hoppenrath is the co-chair of the USA Women in Officiating
Committee and an official for Missouri Valley Swimming.

wimming is a very detail-oriented
sport. Forget just one thing or
make one little mistake, and there
are consequences.
I have been a competitive swimmer
lor morc tl+n 31 yc+rs, +no onc coulo
assume that I am beyond making rookie
mistakes.
Wrong! While thankfully they are rare,
I still occasionally have them. Here are my
three favorites and the valuable lessons I
have learned from these unpleasant experi-
ences:
RIGHT LANE, WRONG HEAT
At tlc 2005 Worlo \+stcrs G+mcs
in Edmonton, Canada, I was entered in
tlc 100 mctcr b+ckstrokc +ll prcppco
+no rc+oy to brc+k + lINA \+stcrs worlo

I w+s convincco I w+s in lc+t 16, l+nc

pool and leisurely strolled toward the
starting end. I was behind the blocks just
+s lc+t 15 w+s givcn tlc wlistlc to cntcr
tlc w+tcr Noticing tl+t l+nc lour w+s
empty, I thought to myself, Bummer,
some unlucky person is going to miss her
race.
I asked the timer who it was, and at the
exact same time the gun went off, I real-
ized...it was me! llcrc w+s no lc+t 16
- - -
Lesson learned: If you cant remember
your heat and lane assignments, write it on
your hand with a Sharpie even if it makes
you lccl likc + 6-yc+r-olo
OH, NUTS!
I was in beautiful Cuernavaca, Mexico
lor tlc \cxic+n \+stcrs N+tion+ls in
\+y ol 2007 llis w+s my lirst oppor-
tunity to set long course Masters world
rccoros in tlc womcns -5--9 +gc group,
and the press had been alerted.
While I love eating local cuisine, I
also bring some must-have meet food,
incluoing Clill 0+rs, ACClll Gcls, w+l-
nuts and my special blueberry oatmeal
blend (see the recipe in Pools Edge in
tlc Novcmbcr 2009 issuc ol Swimming
World).
At 5 p.m. the day before the meet,
I decided to use my teeth to open the
bag of nuts. Just as I was tearing the
b+g, I tlouglt to myscll, WAIl Lsc
the scissors!
loo l+tc \y ol-so-cxpcnsivc lront
porcelain veneer popped off, leaving a
gaping hole right in the middle of my
smile.
I looked like a hillbilly. My host,
Carlos Fabre, took one look at me and
said, No problema!
He was right. We located a dentist,
+no by S pm, tlc vcnccr w+s b+ck
on, looking +s gooo +s ncw llc cost`
lwcnty ooll+rs

Lesson learned: NlVll usc your
teeth to open anything.
DANGEROUS WHEN WET
My absolute favorite meet is the
Chesapeake Elite Pro-Am, held every
December in Oklahoma City.
Going into tlc mcct in 2009, I rc+l-
ized that due to the techsuit ban, I did
not own a single legal suit. I contacted
\+tt zimmcr +t lYl +no orocrco +
lr+ccr liglt b+sco on tlc sizing cl+rt
(I +m 5-S +no 125 pounos) I trico it on
at home, and while it did feel a bit big,
I l+o bccn wc+ring +n XllllA Vortcx
full-body Swimskin for the past season,
so it was hard to compare.
Just before my first race, I jumped
in the warm-up pool, took a few strokes
and almost sank to the bottom.
llc suit w+s c+tcling so mucl w+tcr
that I could barely swim. I asked a
much bigger girl in the pool what size
slc worc +no slc rcplico, A 26` I w+s
wc+ring + 3- \y ncw suit w+s +t lc+st
four sizes too large!
With no time to change, I jumped
up on the blocks and swam one of the
l+rocst-+no slowcst-500 lrccstylcs
in my life.
Now tl+t I l+vc tlc riglt sizc, tlc
suit fits me like a glove.

Lesson learned: When you try on any
new suit before a swim meet, be sure to test
it first in the water, dummy!

ROOKIE MISTAKES
BY KARLYN PI PES-NEI LSEN
You are never too old to make a rookie mistake.
Unfortunately, there are consequences that go with making mistakes.
The most important thing, though, is to learn from your mistakes.
THE WORLD S FOREMOST AUTHORITY ON ADULT SWIMMING
SWIM was started by Kim Hansen in 1984.
It became the official magazine of United States Masters Swimming in 1992.
Today the title lives as a section in Swimming World Magazine and can be downloaded separately.

USMS RECORDS FALL IN WASHINGTON
Alan Bell and Lincoln Djang wiped out three U.S. Masters
Swimming short course national records at the 2010 Pacific
Northwest Association Swimming Championships, held in April
at Federal Way, Wash. Bell eclipsed two standards in the mens
60-64 age group, finishing the 500 and 1650 yard free in 5:19.84 and
18:41.51. Those times bettered the previous marks of 5:21.61, held by
Paul McCormick, and 18:49.29, held by James McCleery.
Djangs record swim came in the mens 50-54 200 back, where he
touched in 2:01.39 to crush William Sprechts time
of 2:03.62.
PACIFIC MASTERS MEET FEATURES MULTIPLE
INDIVIDUAL RECORDS
Former Stanford All-American Andy Grant, reigning
Swimming World Masters Swimmer of the Year winner Laura Val and
several other swimmers combined to rewrite the USMS record book
at the Pacific Masters Short Course Championships in April.
After breaking five USMS records in the mens 18-24 age group last
year, Grant has already laid claim to several marks in the 25-29 divi-
sion. He lowered records in the 100, 200 and 500 yard free (42.58,
1:33.86 and 4:20.82), 100 back (49.17) and 100 fly (48.07). The previ-
ous standards stood at 42.91, 1:37.04, 4:26.87 for the freestyle events,
49.83 for the 100 back and 48.36 for the 100 fly.
Val pocketed two records in the womens 55-59 age group with an
18:56.04 in the mile and a 2:23.37 in the 200 IM, bettering Barbara
Dunbars 19:32.61 and Vals own 2:23.50.
Sierra Nevadas Celeste Miller, 60, recorded two records in one swim,
as her 1000 split of 12:18.20 and final 1650 time of 20:24.14 shattered

Q. Swimming Technique:
From Australia to Auburnhow did that
happen?
A. Coach Brett Hawke:
I had a non-swimmer friend at Auburn.
On my w+y b+ck lrom tlc 1995 Slort Coursc
Championships, I stopped to see him. He took
me to the pool and introduced me to Jimi
Flowers, who introduced me to David Marsh.
llcy ollcrco mc + sclol+rslip ligltccn
months later, I was swimming in Auburn.
You, Matt Targett, Fred Bousquet, Cesar
Cielotalk about Auburns ability to attract
international athletes.
All programs have the ability to attract
international athletes, and there are many
swimming at different programs. We have
a very strong sprint tradition here, start-
ing with people such as Bill Pilczuk, Dean
Hutchinson, Mike Bottom (coach) and back
to lowoy G+incs Wc l+vc turnco vcry
good sprinters into some of the worlds best.
A lot of that has to do with our strength
coach, Bryan Karkoska, who has been here
since the early David Marsh days. You can
really excel here if you put in the work.
What were the pressures like following in
the footsteps of Auburn coaching legends?
Richard Quick gave me some early advice,
telling me not to try and follow in his footsteps
because emphasis on winning championships
took away from his ability to connect with his
family. We have a great facility, great athletes
and really good people in this program. I try to
focus on the present and what I can control. I
try not to chase the Auburn coaching legends.
Whats your philosophy concerning com-
prehensive mens and womens programs?
David Marsh had the right idea to unify
tlc mcns +no womcns tc+ms ll+ts p+rt ol
our strcngtl lcrc llc mcn lclp tlc womcn,
and the women help the men. I think its
important for our future to maintain those
values and keep those programs united.
Sixth place for Auburns mens team and
eighth for the women at this years NCAAs
whats in store for the next several years?
I dont quantify success and value by
one year. I look at how I can gain success
over a period of time. I know that coming
into this program with a new coaching staff,
were in for some learning experiences.
Sixth and eighth were not embarrassing. Its
something on which to build for the future.
Some swimmers were doing less training
yardage than in prior years. Does that por-
tend a trend?
I strongly believe in quality over quan-
tity. Some athletes were doing some shorter
distances in terms of pure volume, but the
WATERY TRANSITION
BY MI CHAEL J . STOTT
A 17-time All-American at Auburn in the late 1990s, Brett Hawke returned to
The Plains as an assistant coach in 2006. As Auburns current head coach,
he has his sights set on more NCAA championships.
Brett Hawke
Head Womens and Mens Coach
Auburn Univesity
A native of Sydney, Australia, Brett
Hawke was a member of Auburns first
mens NCAA championship team (1997).
In three years, he won nine national
titles as well as seven SEC crowns. Upon
his return as head coach (2008-09), he
steered the team to its eighth NCAA
championship. These days, Hawke looks
to build upon his short distance success
and turn the Tigers into a mid-distance
force. Himself a sprinter, Hawke has
imparted his wisdom and experience into
developing a formidable racing stable. Six
of his Auburn charges were members of
2008 Olympic teams. Under his guidance,
Brazilian Cesar Cielo became a world
champion and, subsequently, world
record holder in the 50 meter freestyle
(20.91) and a 2008 Olympic gold medal-
ist. Hawke continues his role as assistant
to the Brazilian Olympic team.

training intensity also increased. Its a mat-
ter of finding a balance between quality
+no u+ntity ll+ts +lw+ys tlc cl+llcngc
for every coach, and Im always looking
for new ways to do things. Ill continue to
experiment relying on my past experience.
There is a saying, Trust your taper. Was
that a problem this year?
I oont likc tl+t s+ying I likc, lrust your
training. I do think a lot of athletes had a
problem with the new philosophy. Swimmers
dont buy in automatically to a new coach and
new philosophy. It takes time to believe in it
and to build trust, but it is coming. Once we
get that, well have more success.
In 2006, you had an NCAA champion in the
1650. Whos the next Hayley Peirsol?
We have a couple of athletes who could
bc tlc ncxt l+ylcy lcirsol l+tic G+roocki
and incoming freshman Dakota Hodgson
botl l+vc grc+t cl+nccs to bc 1650 cl+m-
pions llcrc +rc m+ny otlcr +tllctcs on our
team whowith that dream and vision
c+n oo it llrougl our tr+ining, wcrc striv-
ing to win as many titles as we can at the
NCAA Cl+mpionslips
Any plans to bring in a head womens coach?
Im always looking for someone who
can complement our present staff and help
our athletes maximize their potential and
fulfill their dreams.
How did you get a reputation as a terrific
sprint coach?
Anytime you are associated with ath-
letes such as Cesar Cielo, Bryan Lundquist,
lrco 0ousuct +no Gcorgc 0ovcll, pcoplc
tend to label coaches. I see myself as a
swim coach. I was attracted to sprint
because of my sprint freestyle background.
I love all strokes and all distances.
Will Auburns dominance as a sprint pro-
gram continue?
Yes, but the emphasis will move to
more balance among the distances. I want
Auburn to be known for its middle dis-
tance program just as much as its sprint.
Three keys to Auburns success have been
atmosphere and intensity, race preparation
and recovery. Still true?
Im a huge believer, especially in the
recovery side. Im looking for new ways to
help our athletes recover faster and natural-
ly so we can get the best out of them when
it comes to race intensity and preparation.
Do Auburn practices ever get too competitive?
Ncvcr too compctitivc-+ltlougl its
been heated a few times, especially when
all those big sprint boys get together.
How do you vary your bulkheads to create
quality speed work?
For the most part, our pool is set up for
two 25-y+ro courscs llcn +bout six wccks
out ol NCAAs, wc put tlc bulklc+o +t 15
meters and set up the timing system so that the
tc+m c+n compctc in slort 15-mctcr sprints
Is discipline and work ethic required to be a
great relay swimmer?
lo bc + grc+t rcl+y swimmcr, you l+vc
to be an unselfish person who is prepared
to work within a team environment and do
whatever it takes to help the team win. A
lot of discipline goes into preparing your-
self to swim off or into a certain athlete.
It takes discipline to master the speed
required for a legal changeover.
Is a relay reaction time of 15-hundredths a
team goal?
Actu+lly, it is lrom S-lunorcotls to
16-lunorcotls Anytling unocr or ovcr
that, we tend to stop the practice and try
to hit within those limits. I dont like to see
anything much faster or slower.
How often do you use relay take-off plat-
forms in practice?
Lsu+lly wlcn wc sct up tlc pool lor 15
mctcrs Its +bout six wccks out ol NCAAs
and a couple of weeks leading into the SEC
Championships when we really start to
practice with them.
You expected a lot from relay teammates.
When I was swimming, I expected a lot
from guys such as John Hargis and Dave
lcnniston Now, I cxpcct + lot lrom my mio-
range athletes who are not so much carrying
the team, but are big factors when it comes to
relays. Im looking for that third and fourth
type of athlete on a relay to really step up and
give more balance to a front end of a relay.
What value is there in the presence of five-
year swimmers?
Its always good any time you can bring
extra experience and knowledge to a pro-
gram, especially to underclassmen. Its very
important to have quality leaders who are
prepared to hang around in their fifth year
and help the program.
You became an American citizen in 2009.
Why?
I have children who were born in the
United States, and my wife is an American
citizen. I live and work here and thought
it important for my program and for the
future of my professional career to take that
step and commit to helping U.S. athletes
perform at the Olympic level.
Any plans to reprise your role as a Brazilian
Olympic coach?
I made a commitment to Cesar Cielo after
lc won tlc Olympic golo mco+l in 200S tl+t
I would be his lifelong coach as long as he
wanted me. So, I guess Im still coaching Cesar
and plan on continuing my affiliation with the
Brazilian Olympic team. With the Olympics in
2016 in lio, I lopc I c+n bc + positivc inllu-
ence on their Olympic preparation.

Rocker Rod Stewart had it right.
Every picture does tell a story. Disbelief
and disappointment at the end of the
lane frequently distinguish the victors
from the vanquished. And with hun-
dredths of a second often the differ-
ence, some always leave swimmings
biggest stage to contemplateoften
for four more yearswhat might
have been.
Clearly there is a thrill-of-victory,
agony-of-defeat aura to almost any
high-level competition. To explore
the downside dynamic more fully,
Swimming World talked with several
Olympic coaches and an Olympian
to explore the all-important road to
recovery.

I think the responsibility lies not
only with the athlete, but with the coach
as well, says Quantico Devil Dolphin
(Manassas, Va.) coach Rick Benner, who
is best known for steering breaststroker
Megan Quann to an Olympic gold medal
in 2000 +t Syoncy
As coaches, we try to provide them
with every opportunity to be successful,
but out there in the middle of the race,
its going to be the athletes mindset and
what youve done to prepare them.
What defines your character is how
you deal with that frustration and not nec-
essarily whether you have gotten a medal
or not. Anyone can deal with success.
Realistically, youve got two options:
one is to try harder, the other is to quit.
One of our responsibilities is to let our
+tllctcs know tlcy c+n oo it llc otlcr is
to provide an atmosphere in which they
believe they can do it, says Benner.
THE PRESSURES OF OLYMPIC TRIALS
Mary DeScenza found that atmosphere

Harvey Humphries. DeScenza never lost

Olympic lri+ls A combin+tion ol intcrn+l
and external expectations, a faulty race

DeScenzas almost certain place on the
200- tc+m
Somctimcs, Olympic lri+ls just
become so overwhelming, especially due
to pressures from the outside such as
media and friends, says Bauerle. Its hard
to deflect that as a coach because you just
cant walk around with your swimmers.
Athletes have to live with their expectations
more than other people. I know one thing:
sometimes it is easier going in thinking you
are third- or fourth-best rather than first or
second.
Inside pressures can be just as bad.
I know lri+ls gcts built up, +no I tlink
it was kind of a mental block for her,

Expectations were high enough that the
family had already made travel arrange-

She was in really good shape going in,
then her body started breaking down and she
wasnt feeling great. For whatever reason, she
was completely off her times. I think it was
the pressure that got to her, says Duty.

All of Breens training was done against

under the tutelage of one James Doc
Counsilman at Cortland State. In prelims,
Breen could actually see a clock. He knew
his splits and broke the world record with

I hit the wall, I was feeling like a million

was a synchronized swim-

Doc told me I was going home a world
record holder with an Olympic mark that
was going to stand for four years.
He never said it to me, but Im sure he
was terribly disappointed. But if he was,
he never made it feel that wayrather,
he was disappointed for me. Rather than
jumping all over me, he urged me to
look down the road and learn from
my mistakes. And I did. I learned
maturity. Doc would always say, Youre
not nervous, youre excited.

P
lay is how kids communicate
long before language acquisition
and until higher language is devel-
oped. It is symbolic and cross-
cultural, needing no verbal language for
progression and breakthroughs.
Play is defined as purposeful move-
ments and noises, with massive redun-
dancy, flexibility and total absorption to
generate more possibilities. It is an instinc-
tive activity exerted for practice or exercise
and without serious intent. Play occupies
children in amusement, sport or other rec-
reation, and it helps improve learning.
Children need play for brain develop-
mcnt llcy +lso usc pl+y to communic+tc,
resolve conflict, build confidence and a
sense of self, and to tackle psychological
and physical obstacles.
A SAFE ENVIRONMENT
In order for children to develop in a
healthy way, they need a safe environment
an interesting environment in which they
can exploreand caregivers who respond
to the intellectual and emotional needs of
the child. All experiences in play are the
building blocks to future learning, as the
brain develops and is interconnected.
As swim instructors, we become care-
givers for a moment in time, and we should
understand the intensity of this relation-
ship in the eyes of a childespecially if this
is the first lesson and the child is afraid.
You are a stranger, and by talking rationally
to the child, you are speaking his second
language, making him feel more uncom-
fortable. His first language is play.
llrougl cross-cultur+l stuoics, wc
have learned that certain objects have uni-
versal symbols and meanings for children.
As adults, adept at language, we have long
forgotten those meanings and the language
of play.

EXPEDITING THE LEARNING PROCESS
Following is a brief example of how
play, when incorporated in the lesson, can
expedite the learning process. I will use
the example of a first lesson with a very
frightened child.
Water, in itself, is symbolic of emo-
tionality, flexibility, freedom, sadness and
depth. Water is a mode of play with great
significance. When children choose to play
in water for prolonged periods, it is usually
accompanied by great strides in healing
psychological wounds.
After introductions, you might begin
your lesson on the steps of the pool with a
puppet show. We use a hammerhead shark
+no + oolplin llc l+mmcrlc+o is usu+lly
the frightened student and the dolphin is
the instructor. Make the puppet show as
silly as possible. When your student
laughs, you are moving in the right
direction to help your student feel
comlort+blc llc oolplin is + symbol
of the child within, helping the connec-
tion between you and your student.
BUILDING TRUST
Ncxt, gr+b + b+ll Wc usc solt succz-
able balls, but a beach ball would work as
well. With the student still on the steps,
pass the ball back and forth between you
and the student. It doesnt matter how the
student passes the ball to you, but you
must pass the ball to the student in the
same place in front of him. You also must
pass the ball easily so he doesnt shy away
from it or turn his head to avoid a splash.
He may throw it over your head or way
off to either side, but your throw must be
consistcnt llis builos trust, mucl l+stcr
than any of your words could ever do. Balls
symbolize trust and competition, so if your
throws are not consistent, they will be seen
as competitive instead of trusting.
When you start taking your student
away from the steps, watch closely for his
reaction. If he is getting scared, put your
sunglasses on him and go back to the steps.
Play more. Let him lead the play.
It may seem like the lesson has gone
nowlcrc +ltcr 30 minutcs ol pl+y on tlc
steps, but if he has been fearful of the water
for a year or so, you arent going to break
tlrougl tl+t witl 10 minutcs ol t+lk
Sunglasses are a barrier to intimacy,
and when you wear them, you are not
allowing your student to get to know you
or unocrst+no you llis m+kcs tlc stuocnt
more fearful of you. When the child wears
the sunglasses, they give him a sense of
safety and distance.
SELF-IMAGE, SELF-ESTEEM AND
CONFIDENCE
When your student has success, give
him a mirror to see himself while you reaf-
firm his victory. Just looking into a mirror
helps build a childs self-image and self-
esteem as well as his confidence. It also
validates his feelings of success. Putting
the mirror at the bottom of the pool so he
can see himself complete the skill is even
better.
Gooo luck in ooing wl+t you now
understand and can do with purpose...in
generating more possibilities!

Here are twenty-two tricks, tips and tales
toward a terrific taper!
l
apering is fun, fantastic and, above all, its
about feeling fast, fast, lASl
It is the time when you feel light,
loose and long in the water as your body
regenerates and recharges after weeks of hard
work.
l+pcring is onc simplc tling tl+t cvcryonc
already has in their possession, but it also is one
thing most people dont use very often: common
sense.
llink +bout it tlis w+y
Imagine you were telling someone who knew
nothing about swimming, I have been training for
months and months for a big meet that will take
place in two weeks.
And then you told them, And for the next two
weeks, I am going to change lots of things, get little
or no rest, stress out a lot and worry about things
that may not even happen, eat strange foods that I
have never eaten before, buy some different swim-
suits to wear on meet day without working out in
them, and I will not spend anytime practicing what
I want to do at the meet.
llcy woulo prob+bly tcll you, Wcll, gooo
luck with all that...and heres the number of a good
psychiatrist!
So, how do you have a tip-top taper? Here are
twenty-two tips to turn tapering into triumph:
1. Try it before you use it!
It is really tempting to buy a new suit or a new
pair of goggles or some new sporting supplements
to give you a special something extra for the Big
Meet. But time and time again, swimmers who
have worked hard and trained hard for a meet blow
it all by reaching for a miracle over-the-counter,
super-swimming supplement. Find out what works
for youand keep doing it.
2. Dont add anything new.
Another taper trap is to add more work in the
belief that if some training is good, then more will
work cvcn bcttcr l+pcr is tlc timc lor tlc lour ls
Rest, Regenerate, Recover and Race...not the four
Ms: More, More, More and MORE!
3. Work fast, work smart.
lip No 3 is +n import+nt onc l+pcr is tlc timc
for speed: training fast to race fast. Once you start
tapering, the golden rule is to decrease your train-
ing volume, but maintain training frequency and
training intensity. Or, if you like to train fast, train
often but train less.
4. No sleep-ins.
Lots of swimmersand their parentsfall for
this one. Swimmers will often try to scam a few
mornings off during taper by telling their coach
they need the rest to swim at their best. Some
swimmers (you know who you are) will even get
their parents to push the coach for some morning
sleep-ins. Again the golden rule is to train fast, train
often, train less.
5. New suit/old suit.
It feels great to race in a nice new, fast suit, but
a new suit only works if you have done all you can
do in training to make it go fast. A slow driver in a
Ferrari is still a slow driver.
6. Its all mental.
l+cing is 90 pcrccnt mcnt+lso pr+cticc mcn-
tal tapering as well as physical tapering. During
your taper, take time to relax, do things you enjoy,
get plenty of sleep, read a book, watch some televi-
sion and taper your mind as well as your body.
7. Dives and starts.
During tapermore than any other time
every dive is a race dive, every start is a race start.
Repeat: every dive is a race dive, every start is a race
start.
8. Turns.
And you guessed it...every turn is a race turn.
9. Underwater practice.
lo go l+st above the water, practice going fast
under the water. Practice the three big kicks of
underwater speed at every opportunity during
taper: kicking fast underwater in streamline, kick-
ing fast to the surface and kicking explosively to the
surface for the breakout stroke.
10. Easy speed. A feature of a great taper is
easy speed: being able to move fast with little effort.
llis comcs +s your booy rccovcrs +no rcgcncr+tcs
as the training load decreases. Enjoy this feelingit
is what all the training is about.
TIP-TOP
TAPERING
BY WAYNE GOLDSMI TH
continued on 34
July 2010 33
11. Practice several warm-ups.
Practice your ideal pre-race warm-up
several times during the taper. Be very
comfortable with it. Know it backward and
lorw+ro lry to rclc+rsc it in conoitions
that are as close as possible to actual race
conditions. And practice a few what-if
warm-ups. What if we get to the practice
pool late, and I only get five minutes to
warm up? What if for some reason I cant
do a pool warm-up and have to warm up
on dry land?
12. Practice several swim-downs.
And again: What if they change the
race schedule at the last minute, and I
dont get a chance to do a full swim-down?
Dont make the mistake of practicing for
a perfect daybe prepared to deal with
whatever can (and will) go wrong.
13. Fast Fuel.
Eat fast foodsno, not the kind of
fast food you usually eat. Eat plenty of
fresh fruit, salads, vegetables and quality,
nutritious, healthy foods. You cant put
low-performance fuel in a high-perfor-
mance machine and hope it will race fast.
14. Swimming bag checklist.
Make a check list of everything you
will need on race day: goggles, cap, suit
and back-up suit, food, drink, something
to read, two towels, etc. Write it down and
check it off as you pack your bagleave
nothing to chance.
15. Spares of everything.
Ever had a pair of goggles break on
race day? Ever lost a suit? Your swim bag
sloulo bc likc No+ls Ark cvcrytling in
two by two.
16. Dont do anything dumb.
l+pcr is not tlc timc to t+kc up bungcc
jumping, skydiving or professional stunt
work!
17. Relax.
l+kc it c+sy Youvc workco l+ro You
deserve to relax.
18. Recover.
Help your body help you by commit-
ting to a daily recovery schedule. Eat good
foods. Drink plenty of water. Do some light
stretchingand, most importantly...
19. Sleep.
Sleep is the most underrated, but most
important recovery tool at your disposal.
And an extra hour of sleep each night means
an extra nights sleep each week. If you have
a three-week taper, then by going to bed an
hour earlier each night, you get three extra
nights sleep to recover and be ready to race
like you have never raced before.
20. Practice everything that can be
practiced.
Perfect practice = perfect perfor-
mance. As the meet gets closer, make
every aspect of your practice as perfect
as the performance you want on race
day.
21. What ifs.
Write down a list of all the things
that are stressing you and worrying you
about the meet. What if I swallow some
water when I dive? What if I get to the
pool l+tc +no miss my w+rm-up`` llcn
devise a plan to make sure the what
ifs become will not happen because I
am too well prepared for any eventuali-
ties.
22. Its all mentalit really is.
Believe. Believe. BELIEVE. It all starts
witl wl+t you bclicvc llink l+st, tr+in
hard, taper smart, believe in yourself and
your potential...then come race day, do
your best!
- - -
llc pcrlorm+ncc cu+tion looks somc-
thing like this:
A great training season + a consistently
professional attitude in and out of the pool
+ a well-designed and executed taper =
SUCCESS!
It all adds up!

THE INTERNATIONAL
SWIMMING HALL OF FAME
July
On the first day of the inaugural Santa Clara
InternationalJuly 7, 1967Mark Spitz (ISHOF
Honor Swimmer 1977) regained his 400 meter
free world record with a 4:08.8. His initial mark
of 4:10.06, set a month earlier, had been broken
on July 4 by Frances Alain Mosconi (4:09.2).
Spitz ended the Santa Clara meet with a 56.3
WR in the 100 fly. In between the two world
records, Spitz bettered the U.S. mark in the 200
fly (2:07.0). Later in the month, July 26, at the
Pan American Games in Winnipeg, Spitz set the
world record in the 200 fly with a 2:06.42. During
his illustrious career, Spitz claimed 33 world and
38 national marks.
