I know that you're there... and you have something to say.
Lets' hear it.
But seriously. Do Fitness and Lap Swimmers really read this Forum?
I wish they did, but I doubt they see the potential.
Fitness and Lap Swimmers, I'm a masters swim coach.
I watch your lanes - oh maybe 15-20% of the time I coach the masters lanes.
I see those of you lurking on the side lanes listening to the sets - and to the stroke instruction...
Watching swimmers underwater for stroke demonstrations.
Its' ok - and a really good thing.
A decent masters swim coach knows how to recruit right out of those lap swimming lanes.
Ahelee
P.S. I loved reading the thread, "As an outsider to harcore swimming..."
Finally some swimmers after my own heart.
Except that I like to recruit lap swimmers to our program!
I maybe do one meet a year, and swim on my own because the Master's practice times are not the best times for me. So I guess I am more fitness than competitive. The coach has asked me to pop in anytime I want, so maybe one of these days, schedule permitting, I will! I find great benefit to getting coaching, just not a great benefit to being restricted to a particular time to swim!
That said, it is after 5am, gotta pack my lunch and hit the road to go swim and it is negative temps out, brrrrrr.
