The ONLY podcast dedicated to club swimming!
In this episode, we discuss the history and evolution of the underwater dolphin kick. Known as the "5th Stroke," this powerful skill was not always seen as beneficial to swimmers. It wasn't until 1988 at the elite swimmers showed the world the power of an underwater dolphin kick and forced the start of several rule changes to diminish its use. We explore this history and talk through the technique and advantages underwater dolphin kicks have for swimmers -- faster, saves energy and so much more. As always, advice for coaches, swimmers and parents are provided throughout the podcast. So, welcome to SwimEd ... Let's dive in!

Episode 17 – Move Ups
We are one day away from the opening ceremonies and two days away from the start of the 9-day swimming competition at the 2024 Paris Olympics. I think it’s about time we preview what’s about to happen. So, we turn our discussion towards the Olympic experience and how coaches, athletes and parents can soak in all the excitement, enthusiasm and experiences from these Games.
It’s that time of year when coaches start planning for short course season (while long course championships loom in the near future) and swimmers start thinking about changing groups with or without their friends. Today we want to talk groupings and move ups and the minefield that this part of coach can become without forethought, strategy and improvization.
In this episode, we will talk about our experiences with move ups. Although the process should be straightforward, for coaches, swimmers and parents, it never is. Do you have test sets? Or do you go with your gut? Or do you do both sets and gut? And can you move swimmers successfully without ruffling parents? We will get to all of these topics in this podcast.

Episode 16 – Team Culture & Values
Today we want to talk about building team culture and team values. As summer championships are right around the corner, coaches begin to think about the start of the next season. Part of that planning process is creating a team culture of success.
In this episode, we will talk about processes that can lead to a better team culture. Do team building activities and goal setting sessions set the tone for the season, or are their more effective ways to lead your athletes into learning the values and habits that lead to success? These are the questions we will discuss today.

Episode 13 – Jason Swaim
Today we interview Jason Swaim, Head Age Group Coach at Cavalier Aquatics in Charlottesville, VA – Silver USA Club team of 185 swimmers. Jason has coached swimmers at nearly every level, but his passion is working with the 11–14-year-old age groups. He really enjoys teaching swimmers about the sport and developing athletes to have championship mindsets not only in the water, but as young people and adults as well.
Additionally, Jason has been in governance with GA LSC and coached on several pool and open water zones teams as well as the zone select camp. In this episode, we will talk with Jason about his move from GA to VA, transitioning from a head coach/owner of a club to a head age group coach at a YMCA, coaching age group swimmers and anything else that happens to come up in the conversation. It’s going to be fun!
