[quote=Anonymous]It depends on the team culture. For our team kids start volunteering as “mini coaches” working one on one with the kids learning to swim starting around age 12. Those 12-16 year olds get direct instruction from the assistant coaches and adult head coach. Then around age 16 the best of those kids become lane/assistant coaches. So they have 4 summers of working with new swimmers before they are an assistant coach. Is that as good as an adult professional swim coach…maybe not…is that a great choice for the assistance coach who is teaching your 8 year old butterfly…absolutely. [/quote]
