In the Spotlight

May 2013
This month, I've included an excerpt from a
speech by Hall of Fame coach Dave Salo
about how some of his best long course
results have come from short course training (see excerpt below).
During the summer of my sophomore year at Stanford, I swam with Coach Salo. At the time he
had both Amanda Beard (Olympic silver 200 Breast at age 14) and Aaron Peirsol (future WR 200 Bk) in his agegroup program. His swimmers were known for blowing by world class athletes on the second 100 of their 200 meter races. In fact, when I went to my home town of Santa Clarita for a couple days that summer, I trained with my
former team, Canyons Aquatic Club. They had a thriving age-group program there that included one of the top
400 IM swimmers in the world and high school junior Anthony Ervin (future Cal American record holder and 50m
gold medalist). Bruce (the Canyons coach) asked me what Salo was doing in training to be so fast on the back half
of their meter races.
This is a question that I continue to think back on to this day. We had access to two 50 meter pools and a 25
yard pool at that Irvine facility. The training was primarily in yards (as was Canyon's training). We did a lot of
breath control. Many sets were designed around isolating either parts of strokes or parts of races, and we did fast
sculling, drilling and kicking all the time. Essentially, we broke everything down into the component parts and
become great at those parts. This works for both 50m and 25yd training. That is why Salo wrote that you should
never sacrifice driving time (or in our case pool space) to train meters during the long course season.

Excerpt from American Swimming
Vol 2011 Issue 1.
Article on Dave Salo - Coach of World
Record holders Aaron Piersol, Amanda
Beard, Rebecca Soni, and many more.
Coach David Salo has been one of the USA’s most productive coaches for several decades now. . . an acclaimed innovator in the sport, giving us many new ideas about the nature of training for competition, and
the approach to world class performances. As the Head Coach at USC, he’s coached both American and
International Gold Medalists in international competitions at the World and Olympic Level, served on the
ASCA and USA-Swimming Board of Directors and proven himself one of the “best and brightest” in American
Swimming History. He was inducted into the ASCA Hall of Fame in 2009.
The following is an excerpt from a speech given by coach Salo about using short course training for long course season.
I am going to go through some of the questions that were handed up to me and answer some of those questions. The first question,
a lot of times people ask, is what is my opinion about long course training/short course training. I always like to tell the story about a
friend of mine, one of the best coaches we had in Southern California, who moved away, and was in an area that wasn’t really aggressive with swimming. He didn’t have access to long course pools. Every summer he would drive over the hill to go and swim at this long
course pool at another club to get some hours there. At the end of every year he would come to me and say, “I don’t get it. My kids
are doing well. They swim well long course and swim well short course, but every year I lose these kids at the end of the summer season to join this other team.” I said, "Well the problem is that you are telling them they have to go long course, because you are going
over the hill taking an hour ride down the hill - to go get long course training." You told them you can’t compete unless you do long
course training. You have just shown how easy it was to go over the hill and down the road to swim in that pool. No wonder
(Cont'd)
they are joining that team. So every year they would all join that team, because it was so easy to get over the hill.

Birthday celebration (all sites)
(Continued from page 1)
My opinion is that I don’t care for long course. I
love short course training. I love short course training, because it allows me to
be kind of innovative with tree branches and physio-balls. I love going 25’s and
50’s and 75’s. I am not a big fan of going repeat 1500’s. I like the ability to create a real innovative workout by going five rounds of 375’s and 325’s or ten
rounds of 325’s and 100 and descending the hundreds 1-5 and the 25’s are fast
swim - fast kick - fast swim. I like that kind of innovative opportunities that a
short course presents. I think if you are convincing your athletes that they have
to go long course, they are going to believe you. They are going to do what you
tell them is important to their ultimate success. If you don’t have a short course
pool, get a bulkhead. Show them they can do it in a bucket and won’t worry
about it.
When Aaron Peirsol broke his first world record in 2002, he hadn’t been in
the long course water from August of the previous season, 2001, all the way until March of 2002. He hadn’t touched long course water. When he got to the
meet, he had a great swim in the morning. I met with the team that afternoon,
and I said, “Gang, we had a great meet." We did have a great meet. The kids
were all swimming great. I met with the team and I said, “Tonight you need to
watch the 200 backstroke, because you are going to see something really, really
special!” Remember, this was a time when we didn’t see 50 world records broken in a meet. You would see one once in a while. Aaron Peirsol broke his first
World Record in 2002, without having been in a long course pool from August of
the previous season. I really owe that partly to the fact that we didn’t make a
big deal about training long course, even though I had plenty of long course water.
This past year in 2008, I had a number of athletes that were very traditional
type athletes like Klete Keller, Larsen Jensen, and Oussama Mellouli. I like to
switch lanes back and forth from short course to long course to short course, and
back to long course. It doesn’t really matter to me! They all were complaining
about wanting to go long course. I said, once we change long course, we are not
taking them back out. We are not moving into short course, because I am tired of
the time it takes to move in and out. I adapted to their needs psychologically to
go long course. I just would go 25’s and 50’s and 75’s and stop in the middle of
the pool. Then, I would figure out what to do in the middle of the pool. I was
able to adapt. I think adaptability is one of the key components to being a successful coach anywhere. I think we can do that in this country. It goes along with
my idea that, if I can leave you with one message when you leave here, is it
doesn’t matter where you coach. You can get it done and be very successful.
I see Chuck batchelor in the room. Chuck, I hope you don’t mind, but I visited Chuck this last year recruiting one of his athletes. He introduced me as,
“This guy is so good and he is a great coach.” I said Chuck wait that is fine. I
really appreciate that. Do you know where Chuck trains? Chuck trains in a lower
middle class neighborhood in a crappy pool, low roof, a not a very pleasant place
to be, but he and his swimmers are busting their butts. He bought this van from
somewhere. His assistant coach lives out in Boston and uses this van to drive
these kids in to the pool. That is a great coach! That is not what I have to do. I
have got three 50 meter pools. I got a great opportunity where I coach. A coach
like Chuck, to me, is a great coach. I hope you don’t mind me embarrassing you,
but that is what I mean. Chuck is not sitting there bellyaching about the fact that
he has got a crappy facility. He is getting it done in a 25 yard pool. I watched him
do a workout and it reminded me of some of the work that I do where we are
getting up and out of the water. We do some fancy stuff that is pretty cool. He is
producing really great athletes. That is what we need to leave with when we
leave here today is if you can do that in a bucket, you can do it in a 50 meter
pool. You can get it done!

National Group swam fantastically well at Far Westerns!
Lauren Green was the only swimmer fully tapered for the Far Western meet and she had the greatest
meet of her life to this point! She captured the 13-14 Girls high point award and achieved several winter national cuts with major time drops! She has set the bar for the group very high and shown us all
what is possible for those heading to CCS!
The other girls in our group swam fantastically well on a few days rest and threw down multiple best
times despite CCS being our target meet for the season! I was especially impressed by Amanda Rios
(free), Courtney Markle (race execution), and Gemma Takahashi (confident racing while sick) showing
that they will be a force to be reckoned with come CCS (and they aren't the only ones) The girls put together an incredible string of best times on Saturday of the meet getting almost 100% for the day.
Our team has had the best training season they have ever had and I am looking forward to CCS and the
Senior walk-on meet. All National group swimmers have earned the right to be proud of themselves (I
am proud of them too) this season and it has already been successful in my book. Now it's time to enjoy the fruits of our labor and have a blast at CCS! Congratulations National group!
-Coach Andre
This month Junior National competed at Far Westerns in individual events and relays. The group picked up
16 new best times and had a swimmer final and place top 5 in two events. During this month junior national also competed at the first long course meet of the season and achieved 35 new best times. The
group did so well at the first long course meet that it makes me very excited for the summer season!
-Coach Carrie
High School Season is coming to an end and we are swimming fast! Go QSS Swimmers!!!
With high school swimming almost over are you a little bummed? Don’t want to see the fun and camaraderie
end?
Get your friends from high schools near and far and bring them to QSS.
We are going to start this summer off with some fun and excitement! The Black, Jr National and National
Groups will spend the first week of Summer 2013 in an intense Stewbo competition. We will have water competitions (Challenge sets, Hero swims, Relays) within each group followed by teams (made of mixed groups)
competing in cooking, good deeds and various other competitions. Plans include some purely social events
like: drive in movies, mini golf and generally having a great week of building QuickSilver Team Memories.
You will not want to miss this! If you have friends on your high school teams that want a summer of hard
work and great friends . . . bring them.
QuickSilver Swimming is going to be full of hard working fun if you get involved!

April has been an unbelievable month for the team and the Gold group. We had swimmers included in
our Far Western relays. The girls finished 5th in both relays, while the boys won the 200 Free and finished 2nd in the 200 Medley relay. We had Far Western finalists, and we helped the team score points in
the fastest age group meet in the western United States.
Partnering with our other groups/teammates, we took the success onto 10u champs where the 10u girls
won both relays, and the 10u boys took 1st and 2nd; we had event winners, many top 8 finishes and numerous new JO times.
We also want to wish Brandon Nguyen and Julia Bandoni the best in their new group; Pre-National. We
will miss you.
Our training focus will be shifting to long course JOs. Kicking and distance per stroke will be heavily included in our training regimen.
We look forward to another great month in May.
-Coach Lucas
We are continuing our stroke improvement through drills and technique focus. We always try to have
fun in the silver group. Every day we incorporate relays and games that challenge our swimmers, but allow them to smile and have a great time. We are gearing up for the summer dual meet season and gaining valuable meet experience.
It's going to be a hot one! Spring is upon us, and the bronze group is having a blast! The little ones are
working on flip turns and breaststroke and are working really hard. These determined swimmers are going to master it in no time.
-Coach Sam
MAKO’s Long Course Meet - 4/19-20
We had a great start to the long course season. For many, it was the first time ever swimming long course.
All of the kids took it in stride; there were many new “A” times achieved. The solo “Bronze” group swimmer Tianshu Yang did a great job, and he said he liked the long pool with no turns. Justin Jang and Erik
Seljeseth achieved JO times in the 50 and 100 breast and Courtney Seljeseth added 3 new PRT times in the
100 free, 50 breast and 50 fly. Congratulations to all that swam at the meet.
10/Under Championship Meet - 4/28
QSS was well represented at the 10/Under Champs Meet. We had a total of 37 kids qualify and compete, 15
of which swim at the QSS-ASRC site. The kids has a great time decorating hats and headbands and tattooing
“Q”’s with QSS spirit. Even though the meet was very long, the kids stepped up and had a great meet.
There were many of best times along with new PRT and JO cuts.
New JO’s:
Erik Seljeseth - 100 free
Caroline Beaulieu - 50 fly
New PRT’s:
Jenna Flynn - 25 breast, 100 free, 50 free
Maxim Polovinkin - 25 free,25 breast, 50 breast
Courtney Seljeseth - 25 breast

-Coach Joan
For 4 days, some of the best swimmers in the western
U.S. and Canada convened at the Morgan Hill Aquatics
Center for the ultimate short course season match up. Medals were won, records were broken and everyone
swam like champions. As for QSS - not only did we run a great meet, but our swimmers swam their hearts
out. All told, they collected 40 medals, 4 championship victories, 1 high point award, and they achieved a
7th place team ranking (our highest ever!). Congratulations and fantastic job to everyone!

It takes a village to hold a
championship level meet...I
think that's how the saying
goes. The 2013 Far Western
Championships was made possible by the tireless work of our
"village" of QSS volunteers, not
only during those 4 hectic days
in April, but also during the
months of planning and coordination leading up to it. Thank
you to everyone for your dedication in making this year's Far
Westerns such an incredible
success!

Two QSS swimmers recognized for national top-10
rankings for 2012!
Morganne McKennan and Lauren Green received National Top-10 certificates for achieving Top-10 rankings in the 20112012 swim year. Morganne placed second in the nation in the 200 breastroke and Lauren reached eighth in the 100 IM.
Morganne's 200 breast is ranked 25 All-Time for 13-14 girls! Her 100 breast is also in the top 50 ever, and she
achieved both of these rankings as a 13 year old! If she can continue to build on her success she will put herself in the conversation as one of the sports greatest breastrokers ever. Last year she achieved her greatest
success at Far Westerns. Morganne's big meet of this season will be the high school CCS championship meet
coming up this month. She has a shot to win the 100 breast as a young freshman!
Lauren's 100 IM time placed her 55 all time for 11-12 girls in that event! She also
made the list in the 50 backstroke.
Lauren's stellar short course season ending Far Western meet this year has put her in
a strong position to write her name all over the national rankings for 2013. In her 1314 campaign Lauren has moved up to 53 all time for 13-14 year old swimmers in the
200 IM and now has 4 events in the All-Time Top-100 with rankings in the 50 free,100
fly, & 200 free events as well! Lauren took her training to great new level beginning
the swim season in August and she is experiencing the just rewards for her dedication
now! It's scary to think that she has two more full seasons in the 13-14 age-group to
write her name all over the history books! Congratulations Lauren!
Congratulations ladies!
Both these girls will be 14 this summer and they will be joined by teammates who are on the cusp of breaking into the
national spotlight too. If the girls rise up and swim for each other, and for their team, QSS relays can post the top time in
the nation this year. We've had relays in the National Top-10 and under Pacific Swimming records a few times over the
past 5 years (including this very group of girls), this is our year to shine and surpass even those successes. These ladies
may even have a chance to write their names in the record books and show that they are one of the greatest groups of
swimmers ever to swim together!

Coach O's Seven Habits of Saintly Swim Parents
€
Orlando S. Anaya, Mokihana Aquatics, Hawaii
Habit 1.€ Getting Your Swimmers To Practice Regularly And On Time.
With multiple-job families, single-parent families, and just “being a family,” it is sometimes very hard to get your swimmers to practice every day and on time.€ The first rule of improvement is “show up!”€ A great swim parent makes
excuses for how they will get their swimmers to practice on time.€ It’s a powerful message and it teaches your swimmer
that you care, amongst other positive messages that it sends.
Habit 2.€ Providing Emotional Support In All Circumstances.€
We appreciate parents who see their primary role as providing emotional support for their swimmers in all circumstances.€ We’d love to say that kids should always be happy but sometimes they are not.€ Happiness comes and goes
depending on the environment and is also heavily influenced by what children hear their parents saying about a situation.€ Parents who see temporary difficulties as an opportunity for their children to learn to “work it out” create a great
life skill opportunity.€
Habit 3.€ Building Up The Coaches And The Program
We like to view our club as a family and as such we sometimes have questions about one another or the direction of the
program.€ We appreciate families who keep it in the family and bring concerns to the proper person in the chain of command rather than taking it to the “parking lot.”€
Habit 4.€ Comparing Your Swimmer With Themselves
Every swimmer is different.€ Some have more passion than others. Some swim only for the socialness of the sport.€ Some
are stronger and faster.€ Some become craftsmen of their technique.€ Thinking about your own children you may remember that they learned to tie their own shoes at different ages.€ Trying to compare any swimmer, regardless of time in the
sport, or age, is a problematic. The emphasis should be on your swimmer's personal improvement and overall enjoyment
of the sport.€ Coaches tend to be “long term patient” with swimmers in terms of technique and speed.€ Some get it
early, some later.€ In the meantime, we love them all.
Habit 5. Making Your Children Victors, Not Victims.
This may be the most difficult of all the life skills a parent seeks to instill in their child.€
In the world today excuses abound and blame shifting is common place.€ We hear the excuses all the time:€ "I have too much homework," "I’m not feeling well,"€ “I didn’t get
enough to eat today,” “The lane is too crowded,” “The set is too hard,” “The coach
yelled at me today.”€ And on and on.€ We believe that victors are created by toughing it
out in the face of adversity and difficulties.€ When we (coaches or parent) empower a
child to do what they want, when they want, it does not promote athletic development or
the ability find a solution.€ If a swimmer is sick, keep them home. If a swimmer is injured,
bring the physical therapist’s exercise routine to the pool so the swimmer can do it
there.€€ Love and protect your kids, of course, but don’t allow them to become victims.
Habit 6.€ Respecting the Coaches' Time During Practice
We appreciate the parents who come early to talk to the coaches or stay until after practice.€ If that is not convenient please call.€ The coach’s focus needs to be on the
swimmers in the water during workout time.
Habit 7.€ Getting Your Swimmers To Practice Regularly And On Time.
