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.

* Fall asleep on the bench during practice
* Not know which set the swimmers are on when only 2 show up for practice
* Give sets where the sendoff interval is a minute faster than your best race time for that swim (ie 5 x 500 leaving on 6 minutes when your best time is 7:00) and where the coach has had that swimmer for over a year.
