ALL ABOUT THE FUNDAMENTALS
|
Gold Medal Swim School believes that the mastery of the swimming fundamentals will create a lifelong swimmer.
Why rush to the next skill? Weak fundamentals are like a house built on sand...Instead of rushing to the next skill...the next level....the next stroke, master the fundamentals. Mastery of the basics will make the difference. After 70 years of combined swimming experience, coaching dozens of Olympians, we believe that one of the main differences between the Olympian and the basic swimmer is the mastery of the basics, or fundamentals.
Learn these values now, don't rush, and your child will become a lifelong swimmer able to save themselves and if they want....race for the gold.
Swimming at Gold Medal is fundamental
Core Values
1. Air Regulation
2, Relaxation/Gliding
3. Body Position
4. Kicking (the engine of the stroke)
The "frosting" of the swimming "cake" is when we add the arms-long and strong arms.

|
Parents and swimmers have loved these new GMSS web site features....
Parents can now request a quarterly Student Progress Report. This online request will be forwarded directly to the Learn to Swim Department Leader, Nancy Joyce. She will ensure each request is completed by the swimmer's instructor. Parents can expect a completed report within two class periods. Progress Report requests will be honored quarterly. Additionally, parents can now report a swimmer Class Absence online. Class Absence Notifications submitted prior to 9:00AM the day of the missed lesson will receive a class make-up.
If you haven't already...check them out!
