What We Do
• High Focus on Self-Reliance• Personal and Physical Development• Competitive Development• Long term planning and development• Transferability of skills• Team Culture - Swim TEAM vs. Swim CLUB• Have fun!
Mission – “Helping kids become extraordinary individuals through the sport of swimming”
How We Do It
Self-Reliance
Age Group Swimmers – We are learning ☺
Senior Level Swimmers - expected to take direct control of their experience:
• Take Ownership (time management, transp., gear, etc...)
• Advocate for themselves (Speak up!!)
• Communicate directly when obligations cannot be fulfilled by email/text/phone call
• Work directly with their coach to develop a clear and attainable execution plan
A self-reliant athlete learns to rise to the occasion when faced with obstacles, while others may tend to use them
as excuses for a subpar performance or experience
Self-Reliant swimmers take responsibility for their own success. They know when to warm up for their races, pack their own bags, fill their own water bottles, and manage their own gear. They do not wait for things to be done for them
Personal and Physical Development
Academic success is of the highest priority!
1
Promote physical fitness while encouraging proper conditioning and health
2Development of Physical, Mental, and Social Components
3Development of high self-esteem and confidence

Competitive Development

• Learn the values of hard work, dedication, self-discipline, and perseverance
• Understand and learn how to deal with both success AND failure
• Provide quality instruction, training, and competition
Competition is paramount to our mission. Only those actively engaged in competition will be invited as members of our top groups!
TEAM CultureSwim CLUB vs. Swim TEAM – “TEAM” before “I"
• Develop relationships – learn how to better interact with others
• Selflessness – Getting outside of yourself
• Teaches Respect, Responsibility, Patience, among a host of other skills
Benefits of a TEAM environment

TRAINING GROUPS
Developmental Policy
• We want IM’ers not I AM’ers
• IM’ers are multi-stroke swimmers that strive to be their best at all 4 strokes. These swimmers are not afraid of their “weak” events. They typically demonstrate a growth mindset and accept failures as a learning experience.
• I AM’ers are single or double stroke swimmers that fear their weak events, ask not to swim them at meets, and often avoid working hard on them at practice. These swimmers typically demonstrate a fixed mindset where failure leads to a negative outlook…and often quitting!
We are interested in long-term success, not overnight stardom. We are not pushing athletes to win NOW and at all costs

Private Coaching
Private coaching can help, but is it necessary?
See the coaches for further discussion if you are interested in private coaching for your swimmer
• Private Coaching Myths:• If my swimmer doesn’t get lessons he/she won’t be
successful• Only kids that do lessons get adequate stroke work• My child won’t get into collegiate programs • Private coaching is bad and coaches are greedy
ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES
You Parent
• The parent has the right to expect that they will provide the ongoing value system that the child will live with as they mature and develop on their own.
In ideal circumstances, the
coaches will contribute to the
development of this system.
We Coach
• The coaches have the right to expect that they will have the final word on technical swimming matters within the running of the program.
Our ultimate goal as coaches
is to make the athlete independent
from us. Our ultimate goal as
parents is the same:
An Independent Person
What to expect from the coaching staff
• A role model: Honest, consistent, dependable, values driven
• A technical expert: Teaching skills. We are a valuable resource
• A motivator: Motivation comes from within…the coach constructs a vision for the athlete of what is possible.
• A caring person: We care about the whole child and not just the athlete.
Coach Boundaries
• You can expect that EVERYTHING we do with our athletes will be in clear view of observers, even if it is a “swimmer only” meeting or a closed deck.
Our coaches will not engage in:• Being alone with an athlete 1-on-1 behind closed doors• Driving athletes in their personal cars to/from practices,
meets, and any team functions• Engaging with athletes through social media unless team
sponsored• Taking part in non-swim team sponsored events with
athletes
What coaches expects from athletes
• Excellence, Sportsmanship, and Respect.
• Come to practice ready to work hard.
• Have well-defined goals!
• Be on time! Communicate with coaches when obligations cannot be fulfilled
• Consider others before they act.
• Follow the directions of the coaching staff.
• Abusive and destructive behavior will not be tolerated.
What coaches expect from parents
• Come to us for help, we are the professionals
• Absorb some degree of education about swimming and the program
• Support what we are trying to accomplish with your child
• Keep concerns about performance related issues between yourself and the coach
• Abusive and/or destructive behavior/conversations will not be tolerated
Believe in our coaches, the team, and your kid!
Complaint Resolution
• Your group coach is always the first person to contact with any concerns regarding your swimmer.
• Contact the Head Coach if you are not able to resolve the issue after communicating with the group coach.
• If satisfactory resolution has not occurred after speaking with both the group and Head Coach, contact a board member.
Head Coach holds meeting hours daily from 6:15-7:30pm by appointment.
Parents role in the Program
• Volunteer…help your team!
• Be Supportive:• Support your kid!
• Support your team!
• Support your coaching staff!
• Do not coach your kid!!
• Do not impose your ambitions onto your child!
• Do not expect your child to become an Olympian!
• Have fun and enjoy your child’s development, it is a long process.
Parents Role at Meets
• Transportation; Get them there on time
• Healthy food and water
• Timing! ☺ (Volunteer for Spots!!)
• Support your team: Encourage, do not interfere with another swimmer’s/family’s meet experience
• Support your kid: Be there for a hug
• Positive support and comments about races are OK:• “I could tell you really tried hard”
• “That was a fun race to watch”
• Any other comments are not OK:• “You could have gone faster”
• “Why didn’t you dolphin off the wall?”
Parents may not always know what we are trying to accomplish at meets. Skill development during mid-season is often given highest priority. Some meets are NOT about times!
Parents at PracticeWe will continue to provide an open deck in which parents can observe practice. However, It is strongly suggested that you do ANYTHING else with your time. Get a group of parents out walking or start your own dryland group. You can always catch up on reading, too!
If you do happen to watch practice, it is expected that you will adhere to the following:
1. Observe silently
2. No videotaping.
3. Unless of emergency, do not engage in any conversation with yours or other swimmers at any time.
4. Do not engage in conversation with the coaching staff. They are working. Office hours are by appointment if you have something to discuss
5. Stay in the parents viewing area (where is it?). Please do not walk around the pool to get a better “view” and/or set up folding chairs on the side of the deck. This is our workspace!
SMST Parent Code of Conduct – Agreed upon during online registration
As a parent of a swimmer and member of the Sierra Marlins Swim Team, I will abide by the following guidelines:
1. Practice teamwork with all parents, swimmers and coaches by supporting the values of Discipline, Loyalty, Commitment and
Hard Work.
2. I will not coach or instruct the team or any swimmer, including my own, at a practice or meets (from the stands, deck or any
other area) or interfere with coaches on either the pool deck or other facility areas
3. Demonstrate good sportsmanship by conducting myself in a manner that earns the respect of my child, other swimmers,
parents, officials and the coaches at meets and practices.
4. Maintain self-control at all times. Know my role.
1. Swimmers – Swim
2. Coaches – Coach
3. Officials – Officiate
4. Parents – Parent (Support)
5. I understand that criticizing, name-calling, use of abusive language or gestures directed towards coaches, officials, and/or
any participating swimmer will not be permitted or tolerated.
6. Enjoy involvement with the Sierra Marlins Swim Team by supporting the swimmers, coaches and other parents with positive
communication and actions.
7. During competitions, questions or concerns regarding decisions made by meet officials are directed to the Head
Coach. Parents address the officials via the Head Coach ONLY.
8. Sanctions – Should I conduct myself in such a way that brings discredit or discord to the Sierra Marlins Swim Team or
Coaching Staff, I voluntarily subject myself to disciplinary action. SMST maintains the right to terminate any membership
with/without cause in the interest of our vision, mission and objectives.
A signed Parent Code of Conduct is required at the time of registration and will be electronically agreed to by each parent before
a child can register for SMST. Please make sure to read all agreements that come up when registering your swimmer on our
