By Guerby Ruuska, Swimming World Intern.<\/em><\/p>\n

Unlike in the rest of the world (specifically Europe), the United States put a huge emphasis on swimming at all levels: pro, college, club, high school and even summer league programs. With so many different levels (and lengths) of swimming, you may ask yourself, how much does the training for each level vary?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Arizona State\u2019s assistant coach\u00a0Rachel Stratton-Mills<\/strong> admits the difference between club and college is based more on physical and mental maturity. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe major difference between club and college coaching is the physical and mental maturity of the athletes,\u201d Stratton-Mills said. \u201cTraining decisions should be made when working with the younger athletes that allow for continued development as they mature. We want swimmers to be successful every step of the way, so setting them up for long-term success is so important for the club athlete.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Some states view summer league swimming as a joke. In Indiana, most cities don\u2019t have such leagues. It\u2019s either you have a club team, or you don\u2019t, but in the small town of Rensselaer, Indiana, Brett Weilbaker<\/strong> sees their dominant summer league program as the perfect feeder system. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you take it seriously, then it\u2019s important. It\u2019s a good way to introduce new kids to swimming that may not know about the summer or club team,\u201d Weilbaker said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rensselaer is unique in that they offer summer league, club, middle school and high school swimming\u2026and Weilbaker oversees them all. Weilbaker see major differences between coaching the summer league kids and coaching those at the club level.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSummer league is much different than high school or club. Club coaching is different because you are a little more in charge,\u201d Weilbaker commented. \u201cIt\u2019s not that these kids need something to do, it’s that these kids want to get better. That\u2019s the point of the club. We want to get better and have fun…but we aren\u2019t coming into have fun; we are coming in to get better.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Weilbaker is right – coming in to have fun and working hard is different than coming into work and having fun in the process. So if summer league is used for simple fun and improvement, then what about club? Stratton-Mills believes it to be a unique creation. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think club coaching is unique to itself,\u201d Stratton-Mills pointed out. \u201cClub swimmers often swim a wider range of events over a longer period of time.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

So where do high schoolers fall in with all of this? And how does a coach go from coaching kids who still have a childlike spark and those who have been in the sport for years? Does one group require more technique or more speed?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHigh School teams and collegiate teams are similar in that they have to train to be successful during their specific competitive season,\u201d Stratton-Mills continued.<\/span><\/p>\n

Weilbaker sees high school swimming as a community builder.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCoaching high school is completely different. You can coach club, summer league, and even middle school without feeling a connection to the community,\u201d Weilbaker admitted. \u201cHigh school, at least in my eyes, is where you produce good community members.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

As a high school coach, you are expected to run a program and help foster a sense of family, rather than simply making individuals better.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHigh school-age athletes need to develop a well-rounded tr<\/span>aining base that will help with long-term success,” Stratton-Mills said. “This includes a great aerobic base, a high focus on technical development and the ability to utilize an effective kick during their races and turns. \u00a0As athletes mature their best events can change, so giving them a proper base can open many doors for them long term.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
