The Trusted Source For Swim Coaching Professionals
When I started coaching, I was mentored by Bob Gillett. Bob always told me to do it my way and add a bit of the unusual to everything I do. I have carried this forward through my coaching career and now understand what he meant by the “But what if factor”.

During the month of March, Coach Paul Yetter shared a video from his team in Naples, taken during a visit of USA Swimming Master Coach Bob Steele. We posted the video on our blog and highly recommend to watch it if you haven’t seen it yet.
During the month of February we were able to run our second giveaway with the “Sprint Free – Getting Stronger with Jason Lezak” DVD. Duke Smith, our lucky winner, also got a USA swim cap signed by Jason together with the DVD.
When I heard about Jason Lezak’s Sprint Free DVD, I had to get a copy for myself but also to review it for ProSwimWorkouts. There’s something about Jason, other than the fact that he probably had the most amazing relay swim in Olympic history, making you want to know how he did stay as fit and strong over the years.
