OK fam. Let’s play a game called: “How many awesome swim parents can we drag into our nerdy little Swimpros gang?” Here’s the deal: If you invite 5 caring swim parents into the Skool community, and tag them in the comments once they’re in… 🎁 YOU GET A GIFT Not a lame gift. A real, "you’ll-brag-to-your-friends" kind of gift. Because we don’t do useless here. We do transformational rewards for parents who are looking for ways to best support their children without adding more pressure. Here’s how to play: 1. Invite 5 people who are just like you – obsessed with swimming, slightly stressed, and willing to do anything to help their kid win mentally. 2. Make sure they actually JOIN the community. 3. Once you see them inside, tag all 5 of them in the comments below this post so I know you won. That’s it. I’ll DM you to confirm your reward. ⏳ Deadline: X-mas. Because greatness doesn’t wait. Ready? Set? Tag. Your. Swim squad. Oh and the gift??? It's a free invitation to our VIP Half-Day in April 2026 where we show you everything we've learned in the last 6 years that you need to know to best support your kid from home. We will implement live together so you'll leave the VIP Day and everything that you can do is pretty much done. (This will be our first VIP Day EVER and I'm beyond excited for it to say the least!! 🤩)

Hi all, just thought to open this one. How long after having a fever and mild cold do you let your children into pool? What is your recovery time for them? Also, in the week after this, do you let them go back fully or slow? Example - when Sara is sick (which is unfortunately this weekend), I always make her stay home +48h after last fever above 37C. But then I always struggle with - should I allow her go back in full training course, also morning or just afternoons, so she gradually gets back into it. She has now two competitions in a row in next two weekends. I am interested in what you think, also @David Karasek and @Yul Münger :) thank you ;)

If nervousness and race anxiety are a thing in your family, use this checklist to identify what to say and what NOT to say before a race. There's no magic sentence that eliminates nervousness, but the important idea (for parents) is that when your child is struggling with nerves... it's THEIR opportunity to build their character. And while it sucks to see them suffer, you don't want to rob them from their chance to become a stronger and more resilient human being. So very often the best thing to say is just "I love you" ❤️ and then shut up and let them do their thing.

Looking for some reassurance that I am getting this right. Back in September, Ari had a nasty virus. 3 weeks after the initial illness, it came back even worse. She was actively unwell for around 6 weeks with frequent relapses. When she pushed too hard in training she would hit a wall. She is now much better and has been taking on pretty much her full training schedule. Last weekend she did a full-on 3 day comp and then straight into a full week of tough training. Last night it was obvious she was flagging. Some of the symptoms were back - headache, congestion, shattered, feeling sick. She ran to the bathroom after 1.5 hours in the pool on the verge of being sick. Her appetite hasn't fully recovered since being ill and I am worried that she isn't fuelling enough but she is off many of her go-to foods. I didn't let her train this morning and she slept nearly 10 hours, woke up feeling hungry and more human. I feel like I am doing the right thing and just fending off the post viral fatigue and relapses but I am also anxious. Any thoughts? (I would like to be able to talk to her coach but he isn't the easiest and would likely brush it off as her being a wimp.)
