Competitive Swimmers

Share the excitement of exceptional aquatic instruction at BYU! Join head coaches Stan Crump and Tim Powers for five days of training and feedback. You will define your own specific needs as a competitive swimmer, determine personal training guidelines to meet these needs, and then develop individual goals to increase your performance potential throughout the year. To help determine these guidelines, you will receive interval training evaluations and coach critiques specific to your needs.

Throughout the week you will increase your performance potential through the use of drills, workout sets, time trials, competitions, and video sessions. In class, you will discover the theory behind powerful, winning strokes. You will study detailed sequential movements of competitive strokes, learn fundamental competitive techniques, view contemporary training films, and receive valuable feedback from the analysis of personal videotapes. In the pool you will undergo extensive drills, workout sets, and time trials. You will review your personal videotaping in class to give you insight into your training strengths and weaknesses.

Directors
Women’s head coach Stan Crump has shown that he is one of the most dominant coaches in the Mountain West Conference after capturing the first five consecutive MWC Championships and a second–place finish in 2005 and 2006. Crump has found much success after taking over the reins of the women’s swimming team in 1980.

The five championships are among 13 titles that he has coached his team to victory. His teams have also been runners-up on 11 different occasions. Under Coach Crump the women’s swimming team hasn’t finished lower than second in any conference championship. His swimmers have also earned individual honors with 16 All-Americans awards and three athletes representing three countries in the Olympic games.

Crump has also earned some individual accolades, including seven Coach of the Year awards, Collegiate Swim Coaches Association of America’s Distinguished Coach Award, CSCAA’s Master Coach Award, and a ranking of Level 5 for coaching from the America Swimming Coaches Association, the highest level that can be earned.

Men’s head coach Tim Powers enters his 32nd season at BYU as one of collegiate swimming’s elite coaches. Coach Powers’ 225-86 record in dual meets makes him the Mountain West Conference’s most winning active coach. Powers was named the 2002 MWC Coach of the Year. It was the fourth time he was awarded the conference honor. He has coached 82 individual conference champions and has also coached participants in the finals of every major competition, including the Olympics. Presently, Powers is serving as president of the Swimming Coaches Association of America.
