How Can A Swim Coach and Their Swim Club Board Build Trust?

By Gold Medal Mel Stewart on SwimSwam

In the SwimSwam Podcast dive deeper into the sport you love with insider conversations about swimming. Hosted by Coleman Hodges, Garrett McCaffrey, and Gold Medal Mel Stewart, SwimSwam welcomes both the biggest names in swimming that you already know, and rising stars that you need to get to know, as we break down the past, present, and future of aquatic sports.

Renata Porter, founder of yoursportsresource.com, returns to the SwimSwam podcast. Renata’s a dedicated swim business expert with a focus on youth sports clubs. Her company provides actionable guidance and support helping swim clubs shift from old mindsets to running the club as the business that it is.

We’re coming up on the end of the year—that time for New Year’s resolutions. If you’re a swimming coach or a swim club board member, a great new year’s resolution would be to build more trust. The big question is how do you do that?

Today we cover these topics:

• how roles and responsibilities play a part
• trust and the ability to be transparent and honest
• allowance for growth and lessons learned
• growth and lessons balanced with accountability

If you have questions or topics you’d like for Renata to cover in future podcasts, please share them here.

Please note, Renata Porter is a SwimSwam ad partner.  We made this partnership, as we do all partnerships, to support our news division, but we also made it to gain more understanding about the challenges swimming clubs encounter.
