Good afternoon Everyone
As you know the new swim season and is fast approaching, we wish all our children the best of luck in each of the competitions they attend over the coming weeks.
As parents could you please bear in mind the below couple of sensitive points to support all the swimmers.
Incentives
We know how some kids thrive on incentives to do well and we all want to reward kids for their achievements, however, it is not recommended to give your children large incentives in order to get Personal Bests at competitions or nor is it acceptable practice to tell them to beat other swimmers, this can often be a daunting experience for them and added pressure does not always help them swim well, especially when they know they have not achieved a personal best or for the swimmers that know they are being challenged.
Please ask your child to be mindful in saying what they get for a PB as this does not support the team ethos that we strive to gain within the club, not every swimmer will get something.
Coaching from the side
Sometimes you may find that your child is doing something different to the others, or you may feel that a coach has not picked up on something, there are many different drills that the coaches request the children to undertake to help them in their technique, training sessions are about improving that technique often on an individual level rather than always going at full steam.
Should you have any concerns could you please speak to your Coach in the first instance and then Exec Committee or welfare officer in order that we can resolve the concern.
Kind regards
BOBSC Committee
