| Cast Coaches
Nothing has a greater influence on the quality of children’s sports than the excellence of the coach. The Coeur d' Alene Area Swim Team staff consists of professionally trained coaches. They, as member coaches in the American Swimming Coaches Association, have access to the most comprehensive training and certification program for youth coaches of any sport in the United States. Certified coaches in U.S. Swimming programs possess training and experience in the physiology and psychology of adolescent development. Our coaching staff provides the assurances that the time your children spend in swimming will be quality time.
It is essential that we all focus on being "technically correct." Most other teams and our competitors are in good shape, physically. Winning races comes down to who swims smarter and which athletes swim technically correct.

Coach's Philosophy
To develop the character traits, technical skills and intense desire necessary for maximum realization of each individual's potential. Each swimmer has the potential to succeed. As CAST coaches, it is our job to ensure that the values set forth by this premise and in conjunction with the team's philosophy, are instilled into each and every member of our team. Although all swimmers are different, they all have the same opportunity and right to succeed. On this team, swimmers are not compared to one another, they are compared to themselves. The most successful are not the fastest, but those who strive to improve themselves. Failure exists only when the participant determines that he/she can't or won't continue to try. Failure is never the outcome of an attempt, it is a state of mind that enables a participant to find excuses to quit.
