I am looking to take my swimming to the next level so I can compete more. I have good technique but know that serious swimmers should get coaching on technique and do some drill work every workout to really improve, (right?). Problem is that the masters coach for our group doesn't do any of that -- really the workouts are just posted but no input is given. I know I need to add kicking/pulling/ work on turns and other specifics and also develop some dryland training but don't know how to incorporate those into my training. Any suggestions on where to go to get individualized coaching? (i.e. books, or where to find an individual coach). Thanks for any ideas.
The first place I’d suggest going is to your coach. If your coach is not effective, then work with him or her to be a real coach. And feel free to ask the USMS Coaches committee for advice and support. In the long run it may be better for your entire club to have a coach who actively coaches.
