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?
My old masters coach just assigned the workout and would give us drills but the drills never really corrected the flaws in my stroke. We also never did kick sets. The most kicking we would do was 100-200 yards in warmup. Everything else was distance or mid-distance and Tuesday and Thursday was IM or stroke. Sprints were maybe once per month.
Rick gives me drills that actually address the correction that needs to be made. He also assigns me plenty of kick sets (a real weakness for someone who just drags her legs).
