Know what you are committing to before you swim for Amanda Caldwell. She currently has 5-6 girls in the transfer portal after her first year of coaching at Tulane University, a school that placed 3rd at the AAC championships in 2022 and dead last in 2023 with Caldwell. Caldwell needs to gain knowledge and expertise: In many people's eyes, a swim coach should have the necessary knowledge and expertise in swimming to help their athletes improve their technique, endurance, and overall performance. A coach who needs this knowledge and expertise may be able to provide practical guidance and support to their swimmers. Next, Caldwell has very poor communication skills. She claims she is there for you but when you are at your very worst, she brushes you off and treats you like you are nothing. Inappropriate behavior: A coach who engages in inappropriate behavior, such as using foul language or making derogatory remarks, can create a negative and hostile environment for their athletes. She comments on the girl's bodies and falsely accuses her athletes ALL THE TIME. Caldwell displays a serious lack of dedication and commitment: A coach who is not dedicated and committed to their athletes may not provide the necessary support and guidance to help them achieve their goals. Failure to prioritize safety: A coach who does not prioritize the safety of their swimmers, such as by not providing proper supervision or ignoring safety rules, can put their athletes at risk of injury. More than half of the girls on the team now have bicep tendonitis. Be aware & know what you are getting into before you come to Tulane University to swim for Caldwell.
