There are times when we all as swimmers, face the obstacle of trainning without the assistance and drive of a coach. In these circumstances how do you cope with the situation? How do you cope with a coach who doesn't really coach?
As a former US swimmer I coach myself on a daily basis. The disadvantages that I have by doing this is the lack of feedback on my strokes and the general push that a coach usually provides. I've had coaches in the past that were lets face it not coaches but merely objects taking space and getting paid for it which is the worst part.
The goal is to stay positive, stay focused, do your best to keep motivated, and set goals.

When I swam masters in Florida (I was in Gainesville) in the late 80s/early 90s, there were many meets within driving distance, and they were all pretty well attended. And fun; I still miss the meets at St Pete.
