Does anyone know where I could find a swim coach who can specifically help a blind athlete. The athlete is a pretty fit triathlete and I would love to be able to help him , but I just don't feel that I have the skill set. Not looking for something "free" and am in the Houston area. 2 days per week 1 on 1 lessons...

In disability sport, "blind" covers a lot of ground. What residual vision, if any, does the athlete have? Makes a big difference in what training adaptations will be needed.
I've trained with two blind triathletes (different types/degrees of vision loss), and I internet-know several others - I can put your athlete in touch if he isn't already, via Facebook or Twitter. Can't help with swim coaches in the Houston area, I'm afraid.
