Subject: any swim coaches in the midlands???I've been trying for months to find a real swim coach in the midlands (preferably Columbia, but I'll travel a bit). Every time I locate a possibility, it turns out that they want to teach me how not to drown, or how not to be terrified of putting my head under water. I know those things. Or, at the other end of the spectrum, they want me to swim with a serious masters group. I tried that, but the result is just that I get my a$$ whipped with no real insight as to WHY I am getting my a$$ whipped. (I don't blame the coaches in those cases -- I am definitely the least interesting person in the pool from their point of view.)
I want someone who has experience coaching triathletes who have some basic swimming skills, but who have not been swimming since birth, and someone who is willing to work one-on-one with me for a while. I am willing to pay a reasonable coaching fee. Does anybody here know anybody like that?
