USA Swimming Visits Sunkist

Dave Thomas, Sports Development Consultant/Southern Zone for USA Swimming, stopped by Sunkist to provide club development services for our swimmers and parents.

Always informative and entertaining, Dave led an ATHLETE TALK workshop with our Senior swimmers and parents of Seniors.  The engaging discussion covered the four personal cornerstones swimmers can improve upon: attitude, sleep, nutrition and hydration.  Dave also talked about goal setting, getting back on track, taking ownership of training and performance, and much more.

Dave held a PARENT PRESENTATION which covered wide-ranging topics including the role of supportive parents in the development of your swimmer, understanding how your swimmer will develop, responsibilities to the team and your swimmer, commitment it takes to succeed, good nutrition habits, dangers of supplements, why kids swim/why they stay in it/why kids quit, and a variety of other important subjects.

Sunkist thanks USA Swimming and Dave Thomas for the enlightening discussions.  We appreciate the education opportunities and USA Swimming’s commitment to excellence through club development.
