How do you all feel about parents side coaching kids (10 to 18 years old)?
Is there any time in which you feel side coaching is justified?
I'd love to hear from those of you who are parents of swimmers and admit to have done this before. Where do you draw the line? Do you keep it hidden from your kids coach? Do you agree that most of the best youth swimmers have been side coached to some extent?

All of these are great answers though I think many of you may have misunderstood or it is my fault for not making the question more clear. What I meant by "side coaching" would be someone who gives instruction outside of normal practices perhaps at another location and without the youths coach having any knowlage about it.
