Essential Swimming Links

Rick Madge

Every coach has their list of favourite sites for following the world of swimming.  In order to get the most enjoyment and satisfaction with the sport, parents and swimmers may want to develop their own lists as well.

Below are some of my suggestions to help you keep in touch with the Tritons and the swimming world in general.  There are thousands of swim sites out there, and you may find some that you like better than these. If you do, please let me know! I love this stuff.

Here's my life in a nutshell. Husband to a beautiful wife Father of 3 amazing, grown-up children. Electrical Engineer (hey, it pays the bills and keeps my mind busy) Swim coach (this is where my passion lies) Attributes: Ridiculously curious. Introverted. Pretensions of creative abilities. Reader (books not minds. at least, not that you know). Athlete (reduced primarily to swimming and cycling now). Collector (of weird, old and interesting items). Writer (primarily of boring technical reports and overly long About You blurbs)

I love comments, especially when they disagree with my view.
