Do swimmers have to take private lessons with their swim team coaches if they want to improve their skills but don’t have a parent who is/was a professional swimmer or access to a private pool?

If it wasn't painfully obvious from the exchange above, they may not explicitly prohibit teaching, but they prevent parents from using common instructional aids (which are used in the pools lessons) and aggressively push their premium lessons. The pool instructors often interfere with instruction.
don't use pool noodles and other obvious training aid and don't go into a lap lane. problem solved?
At some point kids will be strong enough that they will need to practice in a lap lane, that opens a whole other can of worms. Instructors optimizing lanes. Why do they always jump in our lanes, why not that other lane, can't the instructors share lanes. Why do they always have their kids swim in front of mine while we are trying to practice diving etc.
I literally never have these problems with a private pool's instructors.
We really need to defund those public poolssee that we aren't smiling ): .
