Swimming Pool Headlines
Swimming in Swaziland Coach Don Heidary of Orinda Aquatics went on a trip to Swaziland, Africa to "talk about club development, staff training, parent structure, training plans, stroke drills, race strategy, to stand on the deck and assist with training groups... ...the reality was that they had little or no exposure to the world of swimming... ...conversations quickly centered around club survival, getting kids into a used swim suit (as opposed to their underwear), getting kids to the pool as most families do not have cars, surviving financially as most cannot pay, and just keeping children from drowning. There was no staff, parents, or finances to manage." Everyone involved in the swimming world needs to read Don's report, Swazi Swimming, Vision and Reality.
