I was just put in charge of the rowdiest group of boys I have ever seen. They were so bad I barely got them to do 300 yards in the first practice. I wasn't even able to get their names or any times.
They're middle school level, and while I'd love to keep them, I'm not going to put up with 40 boys who are like that. I want to cut that number to about 30.
I could do a 50 and cut by time, but I was thinking of having them swim a 500, and anyone who touched the floor, stopped to talk, or doesn't finish would be out, especially during the first part of the drill. Do you think that is fair?

I had some do push ups.
I could do them with them, but I doubt that it would be nearly as effective since I'm a 20 year old guy, but I'll try it. I could always do my one handers and shoot for a role model, but that's not exactly what I want to become.
.
Maybe there is come clarification needed but as a coach, why wouldn't you want to be a role model? Maybe I am reading this wrong but as a role model, you have the opportunity to help shape these boys. Will it be easy? Heck no...being a role model isn't supposed to be easy.
