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?
As a coach I respect said to a group of us"you are Masters Swimmers,you should listen very carefully to what the coach tells you to do,and then you should do what you think is best."
