What we believe...

Every athlete has concrete, measurable goals in and out of the pool and a valuable important role in our team family and in our community at large, demonstrating respect for others and self every day as they work through the swimming journey. Every coach works to enhance the overall experience of athletes, coaches and parents in the program while providing a safe and fun environment for growth and reasonable challenge for long-term development. Every parent strives to raise strong, passionate and kind athletes and demonstrates a meaningful and thoughtful support system for athletes, coaches and team so that the community & learning process can

• perate smoothly.

Together, as a team, we can work to achieve great things in and out of the pool to enhance our community and demonstrate the power of aquatic programming to create amazing experiences and future leaders.

Swimmer Development

Matt Zachan Head Age Group Coach

Swimmer Development

Every Swimmer Takes a Different Path…

• Some things are in our control:

○ When we start swimming ○ If we play other sports ○ How committed we are ○ How seriously we take it ○ Parent involvement ○ Nutrition

• Some things are out of our control:

○ Biological development

Swimmer Development

How biological development impacts swimming

• Swimmers can be at a big advantage or big

disadvantage at certain points of development ○ 11-12 Girls/13-14 Boys ○ The advantage/disadvantage gets smaller

• ver time

○ It’s important to keep this in mind when your swimmer is succeeding or struggling

Swimmer Development

10 and Under Success and Struggles

• A lot of 10 and under success is due to biological advantages

○ USA Swimming no longer keeps track of 10 and Under National Top 10/16

• Swimmers who develop good habits at the 10 and under level

tend to be the most successful in the long run - not the ones who are the fastest

• It is important to encourage practice attendance, hard work,

perseverance, grit, determination, and effort at the 10 and under level

Swimmer Development

Biggest contributor to success…?

• Practice Attendance!
• Meet Attendance!

What if I’m worried about burnout?

• Trust that your coach has your best interest at heart and

will not overwork you or your athlete

• Your coaches take this into account and will keep an

appropriate pace for you/your athlete (for meets and practice) as you move through the program

Swimmer Development

How can I best support my child through their swimming journey?

• Be their biggest fan!
• Understand that what you see is just part of the process

○ You can’t understand a movie by only watching the trailer

• Remember that their journey is a marathon not a sprint

○ Marathons are LONG, DIFFICULT, and require a lot of GRIT

• Say the 6 magic words: “I love to watch you swim”
• Watch their swimming as you are their grandparent

Nutrition

Social Media & 10 & U Coordinator - Katie Crider

Food is Fuel

• Eat a variety of foods from all the food groups
• Eat colorful foods— at least 3 different colors (different shades don’t count), 5

is better! ○ Orange & Yellow ○ Red ○ Green ○ Blue & Purple ○ White

• Eat early and often
• Drink (water) early and often
• Consistency is key— “Carbo-Load Myth”
• Recovery Window- 30 Minutes after practice

Meets

Before Eat like normal-- no special diets or trying new foods! Eat what makes you feel good During Fruits, veggies, whole foods, Sports Drinks NOT Candy, Sodas, High Fat foods

○ For Swimmers ○ For Parents ○ For Coaches

Dear Coach, We are pleased and grateful for our two children – Swimmer X and Swimmer Y - to start another year with New Trier Aquatics. Thank you for your leadership in helping to create such an exceptional program which is such an important part of X and Y's lives. Over the summer, X learned he has been promoted to a new group and is super excited to begin practices. X was very enthusiastic about swimming on their own when they were on vacation in August. X wants to attend swim practice as many days a week as is possible. X's narrowed down the sports - not signing up this year for several sports than did last year to focus on swimming, but X would like to continue with their tennis if this is at all possible and has your blessing. X's been accepted into an elite program which meets Mondays and Wednesdays 5:30-7:00 pm. The swim practice times are Monday (6:00), Wednesday (6:30), Thursday (6:30) and Friday (5:30). X wants to attend at least three of these sessions per week. We are trying to figure out what to do to for X to be able to do swim practice one more time per week and still do the tennis program without having a conflict. I hope you'll forgive me for attempting to explore options which might be able to allow X to do his practice quota for the week in P2. Would X possibly be able to practice one extra practice Tuesday or Saturday with P3 - times when he is free? From watching X's sessions this summer in combined P1-P3 on Fridays X and I feel he could handle it without a problem and will put forth 150% effort. I will accept your answer - you have so many things to consider I am probably not aware of, but wanted to at least ask. Thanks for listening. We trust your decision and look forward to hearing from you. Dad and Mom
