I got a very interesting email yesterday from a coaching friend, and let's come together and offer some suggestions and ideas. I'd imagine nothing too radical is out of the question... this is a radical situation, so get creative for the kids:

Freestyle - Ultra-Fast Turns (Starts & Turns)

Glenn Mills — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 07:30:00 -0000

The concept of "working your turns" is something all swimmers know about, but few swimmers take seriously. Maybe they think they don't have time, or are too tired to create QUICK and FAST walls. Here's a drill that will help. For the younger swimmers especially, this proves to be a good drill, and fun.

Breaststroke - Underwaters (Breaststroke)

Glenn Mills — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 06:00:00 -0000

Such a simple drill, but carrying a good amount of teaching. Underwaters isn't just about finding out how long you can hold your breath; in fact, these can be quite dangerous if done alone, or to a point beyond discomfort. So, BE CAREFUL.

Glenn Mills — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 10:35:00 -0000

OK, so it's not swimming, but the absolute thrill of watching your own son run up for a beautiful crossing pass, jump into the air, and kick the first goal of the State Championship Playoff's... well... is simply too good to NOT use as the Pic of the Week.
