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?

From what we've had at our pool this is a small observation.
Triathletes only know one stroke and one speed.
Distance freestyle.
Im sets...distance freestyle mode.
Stroke sets...distance freestyle.
It took them a while to realize that working on other strokes would actually improve their swimming.
Same with flip turns.
I prefer to run 50 minutes a week as training. Running is the sport invented by Satan himself.
Nah. Don't think Satan invented it. Do you think he would have wanted us to be able to flee from sin? :)
