Things swim coaches should not do....
#1 If you can not do a stroke correctly - Do not demonstrate.
#2 Do not make too many changes in a stroke at one time.
Coaches should
#1 Make sure the swimmers can handle the workload.
#2 Design Individualized programs.
Please add your thoughts, I have many more but would like to see what others think.

I make a list of every swimmer and their abilities. I design my workouts to be specific for each individual. Although the workouts are done as a group I give each swimmer time goals on a card to follow for their workouts. Sorry guys I only coach groups of maximum 5.
Every coach could make a list and give individual goals for larger groups, it is time consuming. I spend at least five minutes a workout with each doing stroke correction. Next year all of my swimmers will be doing their workouts with no more than 2 in a group in my Riverpool.
