Welcome Message WELCOME!!!!!!

We would like to welcome the parents and swimmers to the 2014-2015 Corry YMCA Otters Swim Team season. We have been blessed again this year to have a great team of coaches and support staff who take great pride in helping to shape the bodies and minds of our youth through the sport of swimming. Not only will they get the instruction they need to succeed, but they will have the opportunity to make new friends and acquaintances – both locally and throughout the region as we interact with other associated YMCA swim teams.

As a parent, your participation and support are a vital part of helping to build a strong team! This is not only appreciated, but encouraged, along with any suggestions or ideas that you may have on how to improve the program. Last year there were more than 50 swimmers making us proud. More than 20 of these swimmers advanced to districts and 8 swimmers moved on to represent our team at the state level. We also had 1 swimmer representing us at Nationals. What an outstanding achievement!

We are excited for the season to begin anew and we wish you all the best of luck!

SWIMMERS, SWIM FAST AND BE HAPPY!

Your Board of Directors

We hope you have an enjoyable swim season!!

Dear Swimmers and Parents,

Welcome to the start of the 2014-2015 Corry Otters Swim Team. With the start of a new year, comes many exciting things. The coaches are here to help your child develop into the best swimmer they can be. We will coach on stroke development and speed as well as stamina. We will coach individually as much as time allows. If there is a particular area where your swimmer needs work, please let us know so we can work this into our practices.

As in the past, practice times will be announced during the first week of practice. Please check the bulletin board in the hall for these times. The swimmers will be divided into ability groups and practice times will be based on these groups. As in the past, if you have two swimmers at opposing times and have transportation issues, please talk with Coach. Please be advised, pool time and space is limited.

Communication is one of the key components to a great team. Please feel free to talk with the coaches as needed. The best times are either before or after practice. Also, if you are letting a coach know of a swimmer who is not going to be at practice or a meet or has an injury, please write it down as well. With over 50 swimmers on the team, it can be very difficult to try and remember who said what when the end of the week comes or even by the end of practice. It is highly recommended that parents check the bulletin board outside the pool at least once a week. Many times this is how we try to communicate with the parents as opposed to sending notes home with the swimmers two or three times per week.

Practice is another key component for a great team. Swimming, unlike other sports, requires a great deal of practice to make the most out of a swimmer. Having this in mind, the coaching staff does recognize that the swimmers are often times involved in other activities. Please let the coaches know if a swimmer is going to miss a certain day each week so that we can plan accordingly.

Along that line, we also need to know if a swimmer is not going to attend a dual meet. The line-ups for dual meets are usually started Wednesday evening so that it can be submitted Friday. Please let the coaches know, in writing, by Wednesday practice if your child will be competing or not in the meet that week. Sign-ups will be posted on the pool bulletin board.

The coaching philosophy is “It doesn’t matter what place you take, as long as you did your best.” Behaviors such as throwing goggles or caps, crying, or yelling and screaming, demonstrate poor sportsmanship. These behaviors will not be tolerated. The first time this happens, the swimmer will be warned. If it happens again, the swimmer will be removed from the rest of his or her events for that meet.

Meet days can be very stressful for the swimmers and the coaches. To help alleviate this problem, we ask that the swimmers report to the YMCA by 9:45am for home meets; warm-ups will begin at 10:00am and the meet will begin at 11:00am. For away meets, we ask that the swimmers be at the way YMCA 15 minutes before warm-ups are to start. This is so the coaching staff can make sure everyone is there and has time to make changes to the line-up if needed. This also gives us time to warm-up the swimmers before the meet which is very important.

If at any time you have a question, please feel free to come and talk to us. We are always more than willing to talk with the parents or the swimmers about questions or concerns that you might have. Our door is always open, though it’s best to talk with us either before or after practice. You can also e-mail us or give us a call using the contact info provided on page 9.

We are looking forward to another great year and hope that we can take many swimmers to Districts, States, and even Nationals.

Sincerely,

Doug Gerould and Eric Knapp

SWIM TEAM PRACTICE SCHEDULE Swim Team practice times are posted on the swim team bulletin board in the YMCA lobby and on the bulletin board in the pool area. Swimmers practice according to their skill level, not their age level. If in doubt as to what time your swimmer practices, please contact one of the coaches.

These fees are set by the hosting swim team and are typically a per event fee. It is preferred that these fees are paid in advance of or in full at the time of registration for the invitational. For you convenience an invitational account is available for each swimmer where payments in advance can be made and funds drawn from the account during the season. It is the parent’s responsibility to track what is owed for invitationals. The treasurer will report negative account balances.

If your child wishes to purchase a team suit and/or cap, they should try-on a suit during registration and the money for the suits will need to be paid at time of order. The cost of suits and caps will be communicated at the time of registration. If a swimmer does not want a team suit, they may wear their own suit. Females must wear a one-piece swimsuit and boys can either wear swim trunks or jammers. If swimmers will wear team suits for practice please consider purchasing two as they will not last the entire season.

All payments must be made in an Otters Swim Team Envelope as illustrated below.

Attitude in Youth Sports: Parents Set the Tone (“Hey, Mom & Dad, Your Attitude is Showing!”)

By Darrell J. Burnett, Ph.D.

Attitude is defined as “a person’s behavior, which indicates his/her thoughts, feelings, or opinions.” In youth sports, you can tell kids’ attitudes by watching their behaviors during practice or a game. If they see the game as a game, with an opportunity to learn skills, compete, increase confidence, and have fun, they’re able to go with the flow, have fun, and relax. Overall, they show a sense of humor and a sense of good sportsmanship. They’re able to learn from their mistakes. However, if they see the game as a pressure-filled event, with winning as the only acceptable outcome, most of their energies will be spent trying not to make mistakes. If they make mistakes (which is inevitable in youth sports), they’ll use lots of energy making excuses, blaming others, complaining about officials, etc.

How do kids develop their attitudes? As the saying goes, “The acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree.” As parents, we have to be aware that our behaviors often set the tone for our kids’ attitudes toward youth sports. As adults, we often tend to focus on the “end product”, rather than the “process.” When an adult arrives at game’s end, and sees the kids coming off the field, what is the first word out of his/her mouth? It’s usually, “Who won?” or “Did you score any goals (get any hits, etc.?” With our emphasis on the end product, we run the risk of teaching our kids to focus on outcome rather than process (skill improvement). Mistakes are no longer viewed as opportunities to learn. They are seen as occasions of failure.

Research has shown that elite athletes focus on tasks, not trophies. That is, they focus on the process of their skill development, measuring their progress in terms of frequency, duration, or intensity. They have an intense desire to win, but most of their energy is pent competing against themselves. Success in their eyes is measured by progress, not trophy size.

As parents, if we’re looking to develop a positive attitude in our kids, we would do well to watch our own behaviors at athletic events. Do we give positive encouragement, or critical judgmental remarks? Do we show a calm demeanor, or heated overreactions to mistakes? Do we praise participation, or game statistics? Next time you go to a game, remember, your attitude is showing, and your kids are watching.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR SWIM MEETS

SWIM RULES • Do not put anything in the pool during a race. This can result in a disqualification for the swimmer. • Swimmers must always stay behind the timers except when getting up to start a race • When swimming relays, get out of the pool within 15 seconds of finishing your length; otherwise it causes a problem with the touchpad and timing • No food is to be eaten on deck, drinks must be in bottles with tops • Do not leave to get dressed until all of the events are done • Do not bring electronic games • The YMCA is not responsible for lost/broken items

FOR A SWIM MEET Items to pack:

• Both a team swim suit and a backup suit • Swim cap and/or goggles • Minimum of 2 towels • On deck clothes – sweats and/or tee shirt & shorts • Permanent marker – to write events on swimmer hand/arm • Comb and/or brush • Shower stuff (shampoo, conditioner, soap) • Snack and drink, preferably nutritional (or money for concession stand)

Bring things to do between events: • Books to read • Mp3 player• Coloring book/crayons • Any other quiet activity item (nothing that beeps)

FOR AN INVITATIONAL Items to pack:

• All of the same items as for a swim meet, plus • Blanket or sleeping bag • Pillow • 1 or 2 more heavy towels • Between events the swimmers are usually in the gym or a separate room from the pool. It is normally cooler and so the swimmers need extra clothes to keep warm.

Things to do: The swimmers will be there almost all day with more time between events; thus, they will need more activities to keep them occupied. Quiet activities are best as the swimmers need to be able to hear the call for upcoming events.

For the past several years, we have participated three fundraiser besides our home invitational swim meet. The details to date are listed below. Please keep in mind that in August someone will notify all parents concerning the fundraiser. We are always looking for new fundraisers, so please inform us if you have any great ideas.
