You Shape Swimmers. Let This Book Help.
Coaches
This book was written with you in mind.
As a coach, you’re the primary source of knowledge and inspiration for your swimmers — in the water and often beyond it. You teach your athletes in your own style, reinforcing the key concepts they need to succeed. But until now, there’s been little in the way of tools to help you reinforce those lessons outside of practice.
Get Going! With Competitive Swimming is designed to change that. It’s a resource you can pass along to your swimmers — a clear, visual guide they can take home, review often, and grow from.
It features carefully drawn images paired with concise instructional text — echoing the same technical cues you give on deck. If a swimmer struggles with a stroke, turn, or finish, they now have a way to visually and mentally absorb each step at their own pace. Every swimmer learns differently, and this book helps them bridge the gap between explanation and execution.
The book also encourages swimmers to bring any questions or ideas back to you — reinforcing the coach-athlete dialogue. It’s not just a guide, it’s a tool to deepen your connection with your swimmers and extend your teaching beyond practice.
You can also use the book to show parents exactly what their children are learning, giving them a clear view of the value you’re providing.
In multi-coach programs, this book offers a way to unify technique instruction across groups. If your approach differs slightly from what’s shown, you can easily point that out and use the book as a shared blueprint for consistency across your coaching staff.
Visit the Tools page for free, downloadable goal-setting and performance tracking sheets — simple, practical resources to help your swimmers take ownership of their progress.
There’s more to come — and we’ll keep you informed as new resources roll out.
Until then, we hope these tools serve you, your swimmers, their families, and your staff well.
Wishing you the very best.
