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.
It's not hard to split the pool into distance, middle distance, stroke and sprint and design workouts accordingly. When new people come to try it out, put them in a lane of their choosing.
That's what I said, lanes for preferences. Hard to design an individualized program for each swimmer, however.
