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...
You say your athlete is a triathlete - does he just do pool triathlons, or does he also do triathlons in open water with a guide?

Recent vigorous discussion amongst TRI6/blind paratriathletes on the Paratriathlon Athletes Facebook group about the best way to swim in open water - whether it's at the feet of your guide, or side to side. Actually, multiple discussions amongst TRI6/blind athletes - they've been far more chatty than the rest of us so far!
