Looking for a Long Distance OW Coach

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.

    Some of the most experienced and knowledgeable coaches in the global open water swimming community are listed under COACHING SERVICES in the www.worldopenwater.com website. Because any marathon swim can encounter unexpected conditions, situations and circumstances, it is highly recommended that an experienced coach is consulted with. Thanks. I see Rick Graves is listed and lives here in Portland. Do you have contact info for him. I have begun to connect with local folks and will probably be able to get it from them, but I thought I'd check with you first.
