For training today I decided on doing some drills with the students. Tina was helping me out and she was working with the girls to help them work on their skills.

I made it my mission to work with the boys and watch their swimming trying to pick out any problems in their technique.

I blew my whistle "again "I shouted at Ben when I saw that they weren't moving fast enough.

He looked at me breathing in and out. "Seriously coach, I can't even remember how many laps i've done" he moaned at me. I just blew my whistle again.

I made a motion with my fingers which everyone knew was the signal for them to do 3 laps. Moaning and groaning will not make him improve.

" If you have enough energy to moan at me, you have enough to do another lap.

When he came back, I spoke to him. "When I told you to work with weights it wasn't so that you can look good for the girls. You need to use your muscles to propel you forward through the water" I said pointing to his strong arms.

"your arms are your biggest weapon, now try it again and try not to fuck it up," I said telling him to swim another length.

He reluctantly stood straight and breathed deeply before he jumped off the board and dived into the water. I bent down, level with the water and watched him carefully. It was much better, but I knew he needed more practice with my advice.

I noted that we needed some more one to one time. I'd see if William would give him some help in the US as well.

I let them all relax in the pool for the last part of the session. Tina was gearing up for a quick game to end the session on.

I checked my phone and noticed that there was an email from Ryan. After reading the email I looked over to the team and watched as they swam around in the pool casually.

"Do you guys know two boys called Andrew and Thomas, possibly brothers, maybe even twins" when I looked at them, I noticed how they were nodding their heads.

"Why," Jenny said, swimming over to the end of the pool.

I sat on the edge with my phone. "Ryan says that they used to swim here and want to join the team" I didn't know we were accepting anymore.

Jenny whispered "wow" as she looked back at Scott.

Well, they must know them then. I continued to read the email which had attachments to the two boys listing their experience.

Scott jumped out of the pool grabbing a towel and sitting next to me. "Andy and Tom were here before I joined but they were more interested in diving, they were really good actually" everyone agreed with him.

Diving?

"our last coach didn't want to train them, so they left but I guess they know that we have you helping us"

I'm not an expert in diving either but that doesn't mean you don't help them. We had a big team anyways but if they were just diving that wouldn't be a problem.

"alright. You guys finish up and head out I'm going to speak with Ryan" I said getting up and walking towards the exit.

After pulling on a hoodie, I Walked into Ryan's office. The door was wide open and I could already hear his voice from the hallway. Entering his office, I was a little surprised to see Theo casually sitting in one of the chairs. Dillon was playing with a toy car on the carpeted floor.

I Turned to Ryan.

"I want to meet them, can you tell them to come tomorrow afternoon," I said, placing my keys on the wall since I was done training for the day.
