Supporting Your Swimmer
Parents play a crucial role in their swimmer's development and enjoyment of the sport. The most important thing you can do is provide unconditional support and encouragement. Focus on effort, attitude, and personal improvement rather than times or placing. Trust the coaches to handle the technical aspects of swimming while you focus on being your child's biggest fan.
