Was wondering if there were any good online coaching/actual online swim clubs I could join. My current team isn't that great and to elevate my swimming I have to get a better coach :/ Any ideas?
You could always try mental workouts (joking).
A virtual club would come with a virtual coach, not what you need if you are looking to improve your training. The best thing to do is approach your current coach and tell him/her your concerns and desires. The response will tell you volumes. If they show interest, you are in business. If they tell you they have to think about the other swimmers, that means they are only on deck to pass time, not really coach.
If you have been in a high performance program before, you will remember some of the necessary things to do, try to incorporate those into your current training. If you have not had high level coaching, talk to someone who has, surf the net for stories about coaching techniques, look for workouts that cater to your specialty (sprint, distance, strokes).
