Is your coach a teacher of technique and lays out workouts?
Or is your coach a person who just lays out your workouts?
I was going to add this to Andes Swimming Blog but thought it might no be appropriate.
My coach also focuses on both technique and workouts. We have days that are mostly drills, days that are mostly hard workouts, and days that are a mixture. Though I had a swimming background (ages 12 - 18), I could never do fly (would always fall apart once I took a breath). Last year, after being out of the pool for 27 years, he really started working on my butterfly and now he uses me to demonstrate to the rest of the team what butterfly and the breathing during it should look like. I am still working on speed and endurance, but he taught me the technique.
