Good day.
For any who can take two seconds, can you please reply and let me know about your coach your practices?
For example, does your coach put up a workout and just let you swim without any feedback whatsoever?
Or does your coach provide you with corrections, tips or pointers to improve your swimming? I am trying to get a sense of how coaching is handled by other groups.
Thank you and happy swimming.:fish2:
when i coach (that would be thursday mornings at 5:30am) i do the following:
i provide 2 types of workouts - competitive and fun & fitness
i explain the workout so that it is done as intended
i offer stroke corrections and advice
on some days i even video strokes to show the bad examples to the swimmer
i offer encouragement for the "fast" parts
--
now, my coaches dont always do this...actually i have only had 1 coach video me in the last 8 years and it was 1 time at my request
--
what i find the most interesting is when someone wants to argue with me about technique
