Positive Swimming

If a parent had one wish, they would wish that their child enjoyed a happy, healthy, prosperous, and long life. A child is most precious to a parent, and the parent must do all they can to ensure that the child benefits to the fullest extent in all chosen endeavors. In the case of swimming, the parent must play an active role in decision-making and advising the child along the way. While the coach plays the lead role, the parent must be solidly engaged in the process; not in the specifics of coaching, but in areas involving the child’s health, best interest, and long-term development. Parents who respect the coach-parent boundaries, but play an active and supportive role, advantage their child to a far greater extent than parents who are merely spectators to the process. In The Know - A Swim Parent’s Guide provides parents with essential inside swimming knowledge geared to maximizing the child’s swimming experience. Learn more from Coach Baker at Peak Performance Swim Camp (www.swimcamp.com), offering weekend clinics and full week camps year-round, and located at multiple locations across the United States and abroad. PEAK camps and clinics are unique in their holistic training approach, personalized attention, and targeting teaching. The camp philosophy and holistic training approach originates from a book entitled The Swimming Triangle, written by camp founder and 1992 Olympic Coach Nick Baker. Coach Baker believes maximizing swimming potential requires a three-sided approach focused on mental, technical, and physical conditioning. But the holistic training approach is not the only thing that sets Peak Performance Swim Camp apart. In Coach Baker’s words, “I have a sacred obligation to bring out the best in every swimmer. I see them as diamonds and my role is to make them shine.” And this viewpoint is shared by the entire PEAK coaching staff.

"An ingenious and invigorating insight into the essential wildness within us all.” Chris Packham\nAs our busy, technology-driven lives become more sedentary we have become less connected to our natural surroundings. In these challenging times, it is by rediscovering our links to the world around us that we can rekindle the natural, human connection we have to the wild. 
Nick Baker introduces rewilding as a concept that needs to be established at a personal level. Taking the reader back to their natural sensitivities, we rediscover the instinctive potential of our senses. From learning to observe the creatures and beasts within hands’ reach and seeing and hearing the birds and trees of our forests, Baker’s expert advice offers the practical tools to experience the wilderness on your own doorstep, as well as in the wider, wilder world. 
ReWild mixes memoir with practical advice, to delight, inform and inspire us all to discover the art of returning to nature.
