Triathletes

So let me get this, in a sport that can't decide what is or isn't a legit stroke you try to pick one those who endeavor to answer the question, "who's the best athlete?." That question is what created Triathlons. I've only been on one "team"; of the 20-30 members, all did triathlons. IMHO, some were great swimmers and swam meets, but that was very few. That's probably because of the popularity of TRIs in FL. Everyone did all the strokes (except fly because some of us hadn't learned yet). If swimmers aren't doing the Coach's workout that a coaching and discipline thing. I would love to learn Fly, but can't find a coach in Atlanta. Most adults don't like to seem stupid so they don't ask questions. I know I have a lot to learn in swimming and want to improve. It would be nice if you "swimmer" assumed that and offered help and not just criticism. I have learned a lot here about technique and etiquette. I'm always the first to share my lane or circle swim, but if I went to your pools I'd have no idea which lane to swim in unless it were marked by time or ability. BTW: does anyone other than the swimmers waiting to swim and parents even watch swimming? Millions of non-participants/athlete watch: running events, cycling events, and Tris. Does swimming even have a publication that rivals Runner's World, Cycling, or Triathlon where none are sponsored by the governing organization? If there is I'd like to read it. Never found one. All swimmers in the pool need to obey the coach and workouts regardless of being a "swimmer", "triathlete", or "exerciser", but if it wasn't for the latter two, I think our pools will be turned in to skate parks very soon. :2cents::2cents: Four cents because I got long winded, sorry.:wine:
