In our morning practice today, we had a substitute coach. This is a FANTASTIC coach, don't get me wrong, but very "old school". Completely wanted me to change my freestyle stroke and do the "S" stroke with thumb entry first (at least I heard it was an old method). It was soooo incredibly awkward! I felt like I did, when I was first learning to swim. I've been working so hard on my EVF and really pushing the water. I just couldn't feel any power in my catch this morning, and I couldn't roll very well.
What do you guys do? Do you have sub coaches on your teams? Do you swim their way during their practices, or stick to your own technique?
