Parents already have so much on their hands, and no one ever said that being a swim parent was easy. While each swimmer is trying to be the best they can in the pool, parents can work on being the best parent they can be outside of the pool. Here are some possible resolutions swim parents can consider heading into the new year. <\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"573\" data-attachment-id=\"44159\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/10-things-pack-for-conference\/dana-kirk-cheers-on-a-pasa-swimmer\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Kirk-D-2013-US-Jr-Nats-2055.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2407,1348\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;9&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Peter H.

Trust that the coach is more than capable of giving technical advice, training a swimmer to reach their goals, and keeping swimmers safe around the pool.

Getting your swimmer to practice on time sets a good example that being on time is very important and respectful (coaches really appreciate this one too). <\/p><p>Parents can also demonstrate appropriate reactions to failure or conflict, as these can both be associated with swimming. A parent&#8217;s negative attitude toward their swimmer&#8217;s bad race can also make the experience negative rather than looking at it from a learning perspective.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let swimmers disconnect outside the pool<\/h2><p>Parents should avoid talking about swimming constantly. It is one thing to ask how practice was, but it can be mentally exhausting if swimming is always the topic of conversation at the dinner table, during car rides, etc. If the swimmer brings up the topic of swimming, then practice being a good listener and don&#8217;t drag on the conversation longer than necessary. Parents should help their children by keeping everything in perspective and enjoying each aspect of life. Placing too much emphasis on any one part can prevent their child from growing and finding what they are truly passionate about.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"818\" data-attachment-id=\"51955\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/emory-parents4\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Emory-parents4-e1636296572103.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1000,798\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5.5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Hayley Good&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;FinePix S8200&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1395324765&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;26.3&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1600&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0166666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Emory parents\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Parents&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Hayley Good&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Emory-parents4-e1462985677208-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Emory-parents4-e1462985677208-1024x818.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Emory-parents4-e1462985677208-1024x818.jpg\" alt=\"1\/1\/19\" class=\"wp-image-51955\"\/><figcaption>Photo Courtesy: Hayley Good<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Show endless love and support<\/h2><p>It is unnecessary for parents to constantly be hovering over their child, hence the term \u201chelicopter parent.\u201d There needs to be a balance with letting swimmers be independent and being too involved.
