Anybody out there run into triathletes that do not have a swimming background but have decided that because they have done a few triathlons that they are experts? I'm seeing this an awful lot these days. It can be a challenge to coach these folks because they are not open to new ideas or suggestions on drills. Anybody been able to handle this situation successfully?

Speaking of triathletes and triathlon, I have to say that watching the Olympic triathlon on tv was a lot of fun. I'm a swim fanatic and I would still have to say that triathlon is more interesting to watch, although only on tv with continuous coverage, it wouldn't be so great if you were watching from a single point and couldn't see all the breakaways and bridging and so forth.
