[quote=jordan31][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure you would necessarily be happier in another location.  I'm not sure there is a team out there that provides what you expect.  Changing technique is a slow process.  If a coach could just tell a kid one time to stop crossing the midline, stop lifting your head so much on fly, put the outside edge of your hand in first on backstroke, etc., etc., etc., swimming would be a different sport.

Swimming is very technical.  If you don't want to spend the money on clinics or private lessons where there is more opportunity for individualized feedback, then maybe watching swim technique videos will help your kid.

You and your kid may hate this suggestion, but talking to the coach before or after practice could help. Your kid could improve in dozens of ways.  What is your kid actively working on in practice? When they do drills is he focused on technique and improving? Does he use that knowledge and implement it in the next practice?  If your kid is in the pool just mindlessly swimming laps without thought of improving or technique then no coaching will help.  [/quote]

The problem which I am seeing is universal across many kids. When kids are doing wrong coaches don’t stop them and correct them. Average each coach has 4-5 kids not a big things to pay attention and ask them to improve. Second they are not interested in talking to parents . Many kids have wrong technique , bad start turn . Sometimes when I look at them just feels like why they are wasting time.. I seen rarely coaches talk abt technique .. drills they do is horrible..[/quote]
