What habits make a dedicated (and ultimately a great) swimmer?
- Turns up for every swim session;
- Has two pairs of goggles on hand (for any unexpected breakages or leaks);
- Always brings the right gear (i.e flippers if in squads AND a drink bottle);
- Wears a silicone swimming cap (for warmth and to keep hair out of face);
- Always on time to their swim sessions if not early (and waiting for their coach);
- Is always anticipating the coach’s instructions and listens carefully;
- Will always be ready & willing to push off to lead the lane;
- At all times is thinking about their stroke and what the coach has instructed;
- Will ensure pool and lane etiquette is adhered to – ie swimming on the left-hand side and if overtaking a slower swimmer ensure there is no one swimming towards them in the opposite direction and will speedily get back to the left-hand side of the lane;
- Says thank you to their coach and looks forward to their next swim practice!
