I am planning and preparing for a 10 mile swim in Utah in August 2010 and the possibility of a Catalina/English channel swim in 2011 or 2012. I am looking for a coach that could help me in my training as well as coaching me during a channel swim if I feel I can go forward with one. I workout in Lake Oswego, Oregon. I am OK with online coaching for training purposes with some one on one time for stroke assistance. If I am successful with preparation for a channel swim it would include an all paid trip to the swim location. I need someone with experience coaching long distance swimmers.
Great advice. I found it at Amazon but I think a local bookstore has it and was going to pick up a copy today.
I hadn't thought to contact the author. I'll read the book over the next couple of days. I could't imagine speaking to her before I read her book twice. :-)
Besides having an awesome record in OW swimming, Marcia has great knowledge of channel swimming and the channel swimming community.
The other thought that occurred to me is that Steven Munatones is another person who could possibly be very helpful. There is also a Facebook group that Steve has set up

You might find other members in your area to work with.
Good luck (you crazy people!):)
