One of my swimmers just lamented that I was revealing all of our team's "secrets" in this swimming blog. I quickly responded that most of what I was posting was common knowledge.
There is a difference between the possession of knowledge and acting on that knowledge. 99% of success is flawless execution. How many times have you watched a swimmer repeatedly do a poor flip-turn and just let it slide? There is a difference between knowing that your swimmers should drink water or Gatorade during practice, and insuring that they drink fluids without fail each day.
It is one thing to possess the best knowledge, it is another to act on that knowledge without fail.

You'd better watch it. Otherwise everyone will have those magic nylon swimsuits and you'll lose your edge.
My 12-year-old daughter has your site on her home page. Your tips and insight are great. Thanks for sharing your coaching thoughts. It's a helpful resource.
