The main difference between Teaching children and Coaching the swimmer is teaching can start from the non swimmer stage whereby you will teach a child the fundmental movement and core aquatic skills enabling them to be able to swim. In a club environment the teaching takes on a higher level to get the children to improve technique and swim over a longer distance.
Coaching of swimmers introduces different pillars that all swimmers must master-
The Phyiscal Pillar- being able to swim longer distances with good technique at an acceptable pace
The Technical Pillar – Improve technique to a higher level allowing greater efficiency in the water meaning faster speed
The Psychological Pillar – Training the mind to overcome worries and concerns , building attitude to training and competing
The Tactical Pillar – Race preparation and visualisation.
The Lifestyle Pillar – Good diet and self control to enjoy the sport and enjoy things outside of swimming
