About Margaret Christina
I am extremely patient, and confident in my abilities. I enjoy coaching and have coached all levels of swimmers. From beginners that are just learning the different strokes. With beginners, time is not only spent on stroke development but time is also spent on increasing stamina. When working with beginners I feel that it is very important to have a good rapport with them. I work at the pace of the individual and will add additional skills when I see that the athlete is ready to increase their stamina; and work towards more skill development. I also have worked with elite swimmers that were heading to the worlds for Special Olympics representing Canada. With their training, I along with coaches; focused on stamina which included serious land training (including more cardio and stretches). When completing their swimming practices; the focus was on both their events and stamina in the water by increasing the amount of laps per session. As we got closer to the worlds; I would get the athletes to complete their events at 1/2 race speed, 3/4 race speed and at full speed. With competition, it is important that turns are completed properly, and this includes ensuring proper touches are done correctly for each event.

I feel it is important to have a great rapport with the athlete I am working with. I generally work with individuals that are fairly new to swimming and are just learning skill development and technique. I spend time with the athlete and discuss with them what their expectations are and how I can best support them. I will usually do both on-land training and in the water. With the on-land training, this would include doing stretches, and some cardio (depending on the age of the individual). I have worked with a lot of individuals that were afraid of the water and did not know how to swim. With some individuals, helping them overcome their fear of water/swimming was having goggles where they were able to see underwater. It is very important as an instructor that you listen to the individual you are coaching and pay attention not only to what they are saying but also what their body language is telling you.
