About David Painter

MY SWIM COACHING PHILOSOPHY 2020 I want to coach by passing on my knowledge and working in partnership with the swimmers. My satisfaction comes from helping to guide and influence young swimmers and then seeing them develop as individuals, with a long term love of the sport. My coaching is guided by my core values. I aim to use these with every athlete; Care Good manners Fairness Loyalty Competitive drive Those core values underpin my beliefs which I believe will build a great athlete and also provide life lessons through swimming; Good skill is fundamental to fast swimming at elite level. To build a good swimmer/parent/coach relationship. Develop a positive nurturing environment. My aim is to develop self-determined/self-reliant swimmers. Four strokes covering a wide range of distances, creates a multi skilled, dynamic swimming program. Training speed, is fundamental for competitive swimmers. Understanding process goals, implementing them and understanding the reason for them, will enhance a swimmers chances of gaining better outcomes. Regular education and keeping an open mind-set is essential. Working the most powerful areas of each stroke regularly is a logical practice. No one swimmer is more important than another. Hard work will be rewarded.
