I only offer advice to swimmers where I can see they are really trying hard and struggling. If somebody is just cruising, and enjoying themselves, I leave them alone.
I guess I'm the same way the person has to look receptive, how do I know that? I don't know exactly.
I will give the same two tips to the same type of people. Usually a person who obviously never swam competitively before. Those things are, 1. Breathe every two armstrokes and 2. Turn your head to breathe, don't lift it up.
Those are usually pretty easy, uncontroversial and can really help them on the spot.
I ma not sure why but most new people come in and will be breathing every 6, 8 or 4 armstrokes and dying at the end of the lane. If they start breathing every, they can usually automatically double their range from 12 to 25 yards or from 25 to 50 yards.
