Swim Parents:  Your Stress & Expectations are Contagious
 
As a swim parent who wants the best for their little swammer you know that it can be very difficult walking the fine line between being too involved and being too aloof wih your kiddo’s performance.
 
For young swimmers who are get particularly excited or over-anxious it is helpful to understand that part of the reason they are feeling this way has to do with how anxious the parents are before competition.
 
As it turns out, the stress and anxiety we feel about our swimmer’s performance trickles down into how stressed and anxious they are.
