I have no coach, because we have no masters program. I use my own experince, this board and other web sites to find a work out. I do however have the opportunity for help with our local high school swim coach. Who is a master swimmer and a really good coach.
What does everyone do?
Do you coach yourself are you in a masters program?
And how many times a week do you swim and how far?
I'm up to 2000 yds each swim, swimming 3 times per week.
:-) I agree with leslie, geek and allen.
i do have a question for leslie and everyone else: do your shoulders ever get sore from running? i know that sounds weird, but sometimes my shoulders feel weird in my rotator cuff when I'm running. Is it possible it's from holding my arms up? I know my shoulders hurt if I hold a kick board for too long. Anyone else experience this?

Are you clenching your fists? If so try to keeop your hands open and relaxed with your wrists loose to the point that your hands almost flop. Your arm swing should be low, hands brushing your hips. And no side to side swing, the motion should be in the direction of travel.
Here's a riddle for you - Why is swimming better than running?
