WEST Coaching Responsibilities and Expectations

• Coaches are required to demonstrate strong work ethics and characteristics consistent with WEST expectations including, but not limited to the following:
• Demonstrate and model a high level of integrity, honesty, conscientiousness, and a growth mindset.
• The ability to de-escalate conflict.
• Swimmers have a high level of academic and social integrity, and respect for their teammates and the program.
  Swimmers understand “high level swimming” and are shown examples and opportunities to reach high levels of achievement (camps, summits, all-star teams, etc.)
• Swimmers are consistently evaluated along their path through the program. Coaches guide swimmers back onto the path, or help them to understand walking a different path is also an option.
• Time in water and practice frequency scales through the groups.
• Creation of group targets to help guide both coaches and athletes through each group.
• Coaches consistently check in on athletes to ensure they are meeting target goals as they progress through their group.
• Parent <> swimmer <> coach relationships improved through proactive, meaningful communication. At this level, communication begins equally between the parents and the swimmers. However, as swimmers age through the group, communication responsibility begins to shift primarily to the swimmer.
