Thanks - I will try to get Steve's information and see wha the charges.

So here's the scoop, $23/ 1/2 hour for members, $36 for non.  After hearing my story, he had me swim a few laps.  Then he gave me the good news and the bad news.  The good news was I had a good body position, I was rotating well and my stroke was even and relatively straight.  The bad news, I was really slow.  He showed me a few things about coming to the wall and turning to save some time, showed me a few things to think about as I pull and that was it for the "lesson."

What he did do was introduce me to the clock, and told me if I wanted to swim fast, I needed to make friends with the clock.  Then he had me do some 25s, 50s, 100s until I was about to puke and that was my half hour.

At the end he told me that my stroke was fine.  I just needed to learn to push myself in the pool.  He told me to take a month or two and really work the clock and come back if I thought I needed more help.  Even though he didn’t “teach” me a ton, I was glad I did this.  To know that I have the stroke right was confidence building and now I can just focus on the damn clock and ten seconds of rest between those 25s, 50s, and 100s.
