For three decades, David Wright has coached international swimmers
who began their swimming careers in his Learn to Swim program, and
this book is based on his experience guiding these swimmers. Wright
saw many pitfalls that resulted in the sport losing 80% of its
participants in their early teenage years-pitfalls that resulted in
swimmers ending their careers broken and disillusioned. Shaping
Successful Junior Swimmers examines the nature of the sport's early
dropout rate and proposes steps to correct the problem. It
discusses qualities that should be present in good conditioning and
speed training programs as well as why these qualities encourage
continued participation and championship performance. Also included
are danger signs of poor programs that cause early dropout. In
addition to important training factors are the decisions and
behavior outside the pool that coaches, parents, administrators,
and national federations can make and do to extend and improve
every swimmer's involvement in the sport. Swimming champions are
the product of good care in and out of the pool, and using this
book provides the means for that good care.
