Thanks!
That is a great list. A running friend did a remote coaching period for a while. I'm wondering if that would work for me? I think in terms of goals and suggestions for problems. As an example, using a kickboard or pull buoy between the knees for fly work.
Is that even done in swimming?

I worked with an online swim coach for a few months when I was training for an Olympic distance triathlon. The coach would send me a weekly workout and I would report back with data like interval times, stroke counts, etc.
It was okay. I really liked the coach and did well in my race (2nd out of the water in my age group), but IMHO, there is no substitute for the immediate feedback you get with an on-deck coach when it comes to working on your stroke technique.
