FORUM: The Birthing Pool Of Opportunity & How Not To Miss It
In Part 5 of our latest SOS FORUM series - what's holding swimming back - here are some gems from Wayne Goldsmith, including a series of short, sharp videos and articles at his Substack page Sports Thoughts, from tips for mum & dad, & a plea to coaches, to signposts for club officials
THEMA: Letters To The Lifeblood Of Clubs, New Sporting Parents - & Blazers
Wayne Goldsmith wrote an open letter to new sporting parents recently, one that I'd hope any club or sports organisation would be happy to hand out to all the folk who walk through the door with young offspring about to get their first experience of 'sport', C Lord writes.
State of Swimming will highlight Wayne's Sports Thoughts at his Substack venture throughout the year, and we'll be having some fun in a joint venture along the length of 2026.
Today, we start our SOS Forum where we left off last year by sharing Wayne's "letter to parents" and other wisdom.
