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 think it's just difficult for some people, with busy schedules and kids and whatnot, to get there at the designated practice times.
Good point. That's me. I'd love to get to Dynamo, Marlins, or Sting rays (too far) or the Rainbow Trouts (8pm practices). For an early morning workout I can get to most anywhere on the west side of Atlanta and can't find a team or coach.
It might show money to be made and/or increased participation in Masters swimming.
I think Tris are filling this niche. Less pounding on knees and no real coach needed for the swim to participate (as stated on another thread). As a life-long non-swimmer, I never considered Masters swimming until the desire to get better at Tri's lead me to USMS.:2cents:
