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?

... The issue is this: the coach brings a single workout, posts it at the of the lane, sits down and never looks up....
that's not a coach, or even a babysitter, that's a bum.
try looking for another team if you want to go the team route. but if you just want to be your best without making a major production out of it then hiring a personal coach 1-4x/mo should be fine.
if you like workouts w/ variety there are plenty of on-line resources... including this forum. see: Workouts
i'm kinda surprised at all the posts i've seen recently about bum coach experiences. maybe i should be a coach, it'd give me a great excuse to tell people how to swim.
