Goal Setting
There is a full model written for the program. This level starts to introduce more training and fitness. Other skills would be how to read a clock, dryland and warm ups. Last year I was also able to get Dr. John Hogg to let me use is Goal setting books. Many swimmers at this stage are aged between 10 – 13. Johns books are perfect for this introduction of goal setting.
