Good - Great Coaching from the deck - or even self-coaching absolutely matters!

Thanks to GoSwim.tv, coaches and swimmers can work together to improve their technique. Both parties need the knowledge to coach and to ask the right questions.

Swimmers/triathletes can even coach each other from the water if they do not have access to a great deck coach.
Study the available videos. And drill sequences to learn "How to do it really well" so you can better offer each other constructive critique to improve.

Definetly...and unfortunately down here we don't have swimming coaches.

The question is SHOULD good coaching matter? SHOULD it matter, maybe not.
DOES it matter? I think that for a large majority of swimmers it does matter, alot. For a very small percentage of swimmers any opportunity to swim in a structured environment will yield acceptable results at a local level. In order for any swimmer to reach their potential great coaching is necessary as well as a supportive family, supportive club atmosphere and enough pool time to get the job done.
