I've only ever given unsolicited advice to a swimmer outside of practice a couple times, and both times were after we'd been chatting for a while about swimming and our respective backgrounds in the sport.
During practice, as a coach, I give it all the time. And when I'm swimming during one of our other coaches' practices, I'll continue to give advice to some of the swimmers if I see something.
I can't think of anyone who's ever been ungrateful for the advice I give them, and most of 'em end up asking me for more advice later on or have me watch a stroke to make sure they're doing it right.
