Plenty of stroke feedback if they want it!!!
I'm so tired of asking and asking and begging for feedback from coaches who are reticent to give adults advice. And then when I finally extract a gem or two - they forget to watch me trying to implement it... maybe this should go on a rant thread....?
Longer warmups are sometimes missed by new masters coaches - us old folks simply take longer.
Also, good transition sets of active recovery. I usually cramp up when an eager new coach puts a heavy kick set right after a pull set. Maybe the kids can do it, but not this swimmer...:)!
