I am thinking of taking on my first "head coaching" position after years of "learn to swim" programs and helping with my daughters teams, judging etc. Is there any good reads on coaching basics? I need to read how I should set up my program, workouts, expectations etc.
Not 100% sure the information is here, but start with ASCA's site -- http://www.swimmingcoach.org/. Next, try to find coaches from other clubs in your area that you know are good and ask them. Better yet, pick the clubs you admire most in the country, figure out who their age group coaches are and email them directly.
