My issue was that his strokes are really bad and not enough attention was paid by younger teen/college coaches to improving his stroke technique.
My issue with Norman was that there was very little instruction. My kids didn't seem to learn anything and, for both kids, their strokes got worse. It was time in the pool, but not much else.
Does anyone know if Swim Farm offers more instruction?
Swim Farm does offer privates. That may be your best bet. There’s only so much stroke mechanic work any coach can do with lanes full of swimmers.
