Subject: Looking for a coach
Hey All,

I don't know where to start looking for coaching. I am in the Cambridge-Hamilton area and swim with a local club. I am just wondering if anybody has any advice or questions I should be asking.

I am what would be an age grouper, I think. Born in 1997 and have recently picked up cycling and running. But I am committed and ready to train hard. I just need some serious guidance.

Thanks a million,
M

Do you want an in-person coach, or are you willing to go with someone remotely? Advantages and disadvantages to both. My coach is in Colorado- I am in Texas. It's been pretty good. There are some times I wish my coach was local, especially for the swim. But otherwise it's been fine. If you swim with a club, you're probably already getting some good feedback on form anyway. If you want more info on my coach, PM me and I'll give you details.

Here's an old thread that had some good info on some questions to ask a prospective coach:

Not every coach is going to work for every person and making sure that you are a good fit with a coach that you are considering is very important. There are also many coaches out there who simply have a template and basically every athlete is doing the same thing. If you are getting a coach, make sure you are getting a program that is designed for you and that has the opportunity for review/revision as required.

Hello

I have reached out to a friend who lives in the Milton area, and is quite active in tri and off-road tri... She is currently in Penticton, but will get back to me with some contact info for you in the next week or so after her race.

cheers
