This website, Read.SwimISCA.org, harbors a closed group of validated members of the Swim Coach Race Pace Training Exchange. The members can freely opt-into this group by gaining entry with a super-short prerequisite course and quiz.
Selected archives of the Facebook group are able to be distilled into summary postings and re-positioned here.
- No admission fees are charged.
- This web-based archives are presented as a free-flowing course. You navigate to various lessons as desired without needing to go in a prescribed order.
- The lion's share of the discussions from the Facebook group should remain on the Facebook group.
- This service exists, in part, to make the valued content and archives more robust. Archives present a structural weakness of the Facebook platform.
- The web space and bandwidth for this archive collection is provided by ISCA. However, ISCA membership and the ISCA Members Library are completely different services.
The flow of information on various Facebook Swim Coach Groups is so extensive, it can be like trying to take a drink of water from a fire plug.
- Of course, key content and discussions from the past and present can be edited and migrated here for others see. All help is appreciated in this open-source effort. As you notice ideas and discussions with long-term appeal, refine them and repost here.
- Hopefully the presentation of ideas in this collection make it easier for coaches to deploy them within their own programs.
- Report back on your successes, and failures. Sustain the conversations. Cross-link when appropriate. Add to the threads in the Facebook group, and, make a mention of the links to the refined, summary lessons here as well.
