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?
I spoke to my coach today about my stroke. She said to keep what I was doing. I seem to go faster and have better balace in the water.
Thanks for all the advice. I haven't gone to a lot of organized practices before, so I was unsure what I needed to do. As usual, you guys are great!
