Summary: The discussion of planning has focused on the 'pool training' elements of a program. However, many other elements of training and education must be added to the coach's plan, these include program areas such as strength and flexibility training, mental skills training, self-management skills (i.e. recovery practices, etc.), nutrition and drugs education. Some of these program components may take place away from the pool environment and some will be constantly reinforced as part of regular coach - swimmer interaction. The coach must learn to plan every aspect of the program so that nothing is excluded or neglected. Beginning coaches usually know what should be done, but they sometimes fail to adequately plan so that all aspects of the program are implemented.
