Swim Parents: Are You Helping or Hurting Your Athlete? (What No One Tells You)

Being a swim parent is harder than it looks, and most people are learning on the fly. In this episode of Beyond Physio, Dr. Jerry Yoo sits down with Roxanna Perdue, founder of the Swim Parent Podcast, to unpack the realities of raising a competitive swimmer without burning them out, breaking them down, or accidentally becoming that parent on deck. We cover: • The hidden pressures young swimmers face (often without parents realizing it) • Why swimming is one of the most technical youth sports • What parents should actually say after races • How strength training and dryland work protect swimmers from injury • Puberty, plateaus, and performance dips: what’s normal vs. what’s not • Nutrition, recovery, and routines that help swimmers thrive long-term • How parents can support growth without controlling outcomes Whether your child just joined a summer swim team or is chasing college swimming, this conversation will help you show up better for your athlete and for yourself. 🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts & Spotify 📺 Watch the full episode here 📍 Learn more about Roxanna’s work: Swim Parent Podcast
