Description: The purpose of this modest publication is to prepare parents of children who are members of, or are considering joining, the Chippewa Valley YMCA for the complexities and promises of the world of competitive swimming. We hope that you will find the time to read this handbook in its entirety, for it is an established fact that the positive influence of a swimmer’s parents is essential for success. There are virtually no swimmers who have been successful without supportive parents. From the beginning, you should know that your child’s involvement with the Swim Team will necessitate your assuming certain responsibilities and will require a substantial investment of both your time and money. But the amount of this investment, when compared to the benefits to your child, will, in the long run, seem small. However, as a “Swimming Parent,” you will not only have responsibilities, you will have opportunities—opportunities to really “get to know” your child in pressure situations; opportunities to praise and applaud his/her achievements; and even more importantly, opportunities to help him/her deal with their non-achievements—to redirect them—to learn from them—and, in the end, to gain from them. In today’s fast-paced society, there are far too few chances for parents to interact with their children on this kind of basic level. Just these opportunities alone will make your career in swimming worthwhile.
