I have a new swimmer with only one leg. I need some suggestions on how to coordinate his one legged kick with his arm pull and to keep hi sone leg from sinking his stroke. Also, if you have any other suggestion to help improve his stroke, or where I can find some good information about amputee swimming. Thanks!!

Hello -
I'm neither an amputee swimmer, nor a coach, but check out this link. Travis recently broke his own world record (paralympic) and is training under *** Shoulberg at Germantown Academy in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania. *** is ENORMOUSLY generous with his insights and would be delighted, I'm sure, to talk with you about Travis and his training regimen. I swim every morning and watch Travis train (heh heh - not at the same time) - he is EXTRAORDINARY. *** is training several Olympians at the moment and it's a crazy time for him, but he'll get you started.
Hope this helps.
