Swimming Question of the Week - August 11, 2010
Continuing the discussion from last week about coaches and swimmers:
Swimming Question of the Week - August 4, 2010
Getting swimmers from all over the world and watching what they're taught (or not taught) on a daily basis, I started to wonder about the next two questions...

Swimming Question of the Week - June 24, 2009
Swimmers: What do you wish your coach would do, or say to you, at the end of practice?
