Elizabeth Sprague - Red and White Group coach

Hello all, my name is Elizabeth Sprague. I am the Red and White Group coach. A little about myself is I am going to school to become a RN. I have two AA’s from Solano Community College. In high school I was on the swim team for all four years. I love children and have been teaching them how to swim for the past eight years.

            When it comes to coaching children at such a young age, all of the strokes must be broken down to the nitty gritty. So with that comes patients and hard work for the children to understand what you want them to do. I find what works for me is discipline and not letting the kids mess around the whole 45 minutes. The last 5 – 10 minutes I have a game or race for them to do so they will want to come back the next day. I try to go over one stroke a week.

            The goal for my groups are to get them to come to practice at least three times a week and come to the rising star meets.  Of course the biggest goal is for them to learn all four strokes and to have the technique accompanied with speed.
