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've had two great coaches; unfortunately, the good ones seem to leave! :( The only coach that's left mainly just puts up the workout and then goes to chitchat with the water aerobics teacher. Her two main pieces of coaching: 1) You should already know how to do that; and 2) How many times do I have to tell you that?
Now I swim on my own. My workouts are either from the Workouts section here or workouts I've done in the past. (I wrote down most of the workouts the good coaches assigned).
A good coach is hard to find!
