I wonder what coaches think about swimmers who seek advice from other swimmers and coaches. I see swimmers here asking advice about what they should do to improve their times. When the best solution should be to ask their own coach. If you don't have faith in you swim clubs coach, I would suggest you change clubs or leave your team and then let some forumite coach you.

I agree that a swimmer needs to respect the expertise of the coach.
But we are not children and I am long past the point of automatically deferring to anything or everything a coach tells me. A coach who feels his authority threatened by someone seeking additional knowledge has got problems, IMO.
