Hi. I want to get a good quality swim instructor who will teach and correct me in swimming (been swimming a lot but completely self-learned, very unprofessional). There are a lot of people advertising, but I have no way to know who's really good. I've seen some of the worst instructors in the pools I swam. So where do I look for good swimming instructors? (I've heard some say Total Immersion is good, but they charge a fortune for a brief course.)
I agree with Bill Sive's assessment with one addition: to avoid instructors/coaches who badmouth other coaches *or* swimmers/clients. You can also search for stroke technique clinics that will help you fine-tune your stroke and provide you with guidance that you will be able to incorporate into your own workouts.
Good luck in your search!
