The American Development Model (ADM) is a concerted effort between the United States Olympic Committee and its National Governing Bodies of sport to apply long-term athlete development principles in a way that resonates with the culture of sport in the United States. The model utilizes long-term athlete development concepts to promote sustained physical activity, participation in sport, and Olympic and Paralympic success. These concepts have been tailored to create a framework for developing American youth through sport. (From "Rebuilding Athletes in America", USOC 2015) USA Swimming had previously created an ADM type document called the Progressions for Athlete Development. This document went through an extensive two-year review process led by USA Swimming's National Age Group Development Committee and a number of prominent age group coaches and clubs throughout the country. The American Development Model for Swimming comprises six levels of development, which encompass four critical areas to help a coach guide the journey for each and every athlete. When an athlete has "graduated" from the sixth level they should be competing at USA Swimming's Sectional swim meets. The four areas are: Biomechanical Progressions Physiological Progressions Character Development & Life Skills Psychological Skills In addition to the four critical areas above, there are suggested training and competitive performance areas to help guide a coach.
