\nSuccessful coaches concur that fast swimming in practice and meets is about creating a mindset, culture and environment where it can happen. Then it is a matter of setting standards, expectations and holding athletes accountable.<\/p>\n

\nThe coaching profession is all about helping swimmers develop their critical skills and abilities and achieve peak performances when they count most. This suggests that among many important skills, coaches should be knowledgeable in methodology of sports training science.<\/p>\n

\nSwimming Technique Magazine visited the Scottsdale Aquatic Club in Scottsdale, Arizona to talk with Ryan Hoffer and his Coach Kevin Zacher about Hoffer’s amazing underwater technique in the 50 and 100 freestyles.<\/p>\n

\nThe failure of sport scientists to work effectively with coaches is well known. The reasons that coaches are justifiably cynical of science were explaining in a landmark article on the “Downfall of Sport Science.”<\/p>\n

\nTaper time. Is ushering swimmers through this period art or science? Experienced coaches aver it is both though the most successful seem to have a magical touch. Disappointed athletes at championship meets would do well to remember Jon Urbanchek’s prescient observation: “Swimmers don’t miss tapers, just the training.”<\/p>\n
