Thoughts by Peter Ruddock – Australian Swimming Coaches and Teachers Association – Gold Licence Good discipline is one of the characteristics of a good We’ve all been influenced by the notion that quality can teacher.

We have seen state re- good choices and be responsible for those choices, and cords in events down to 8 year old and National rankings helping with their development. Without good discipline to 13 year old and we see many other lists of “top clubs the best planned lessons may fail to have the desired im- and top swimmers.” pact and to promote effective learning. Perhaps expectations are placed upon children long be- When there is someone in the squad who does not be- fore they are ready. Should we be looking at results, local, have, a number of teachers/coaches in the past have used state, national and international for the young children? aggressive discipline techniques such as yelling in anger, Results encourage coaches to “coach for results.” Children sarcasm, sending swimmers out of the water, labeling the progress at different rates, so if we compare them and student, giving the individual swimmer extra work to com- clubs against each other, are we doing the wrong thing in plete or even making the whole squad do extra work. It child and club development?? has been found through research that these methods do not bring about good discipline.

Auditory testing has proved that students aged from 4-6 years could not accurately process sentences longer than nine words and for children age 9-10 only 13 words. Research has found that children are often bombarded by rapid-fire lengthy instructions from teachers. What good teachers do? • They have good eye contact. Editors Note: • They speak slowly. “We’re always looking for good • They use short sentences with no more than thirteen words. articles for the WSCA news. • They plan lessons. Please submit them in English to [email protected].” • They give positive feedback. (Written appraisal is a great way to reinforce the positive.) • Expert teachers also set challenging goals. Now as head coach/managers do you give regular feed- back and regular formal appraisal to your teachers and assistant coaches? Is the club that does not produce a champion a failure??? Is the best coach the one who coaches the “TOP” club?

It should be noted that these standings only have an historical aim but no sport signification because the comparison between the achievements of swimmers of different generations is always unfair for several reasons: 1. The period of time. The Olympic Games were not organised in 1916, 1940 and 1944 2. The evolution of the programme.
