Is your coach a teacher of technique and lays out workouts?
Or is your coach a person who just lays out your workouts?

Well, right now I'm my only coach. But i've swam with both. Personally if I'm paying money to swim with a group I'd want someone who corrected my technique.
However, I had one coach who did and I flat out disagreed with the technique tips he gave me. I guess there is some danger in having a coach that is less experienced in swimming than you were. But for the most part all the masters coaches i've had are really good about actually coaching, not just telling us what to swim.
