With some recent talk about coaches, accomodating to swimmers, and swimmers obeying coaches, I thought I'd post a poll.
So who is receiving coached workouts? Do you like him/her? Do you like his/her workouts? Do they pay you attention, criticize and advise, or do they like to sit and read, or flirt with other swimmers/lifeguards?

I push myself harder with a coach on deck. Plus, a coach is able to identify stroke flaws and try to correct them. When I joined USMS in 2003, I trained alone for about a year and saw virtually no improvement. With coaching, my times have gotten faster.
Yes It is why I wish they'd get the masters program off and running at my local Y...anyone can print a workout and do it...poorly.
