I have had several requests from swimmers who want to improve their strokes.
Why don't we have a place that we can find a coach for different cities all over the world. I have been asked today about coaches in Guatamala Cty, Reno and Tampa.

Tricky question!
Masters like well certified coaches who will offer lots of stroke correction and follow a specific season's plan.
Swimmers come with different expectations. Different personalities suit different people. Some learn technique quickly, others by small steps. Some aren't interested in technique! Or even different energy systems.
A coach I may think is top notch may not suit every swimmer.
Excellent coaches, or coaches with 'good reputations' are discovered quickly. This brings the numbers. Crowded lanes, and less time avaliable to work individually gradually causes disgruntlement, usually from those who don't want technique, or who feel their needs are not being met.
As important is the club. Is it well run, with a good sense of well being? Masters with similiar focus, dedication and support of the program. This helps keep everything running smoothly.
