I’m looking for a swim coach in the East Bay area who would like to work with individuals and/or a small group - and, also possibly the random session with younger swimmers (2 kids, 5-7 years old).
Because of that last requirement, I don’t think Total Immersion clinics are an option. So, can anyone steer me towards a good, independent swim coach? Or, an online resource where coaches can be found?
Have you tried the coaches on the local swim teams (notably SRVLA or the local rec teams)? They’re qualified coaches, and I know that at least a few of them supplement their income from the team with individual lessons, etc.
Also, I swim with the Tri-Valley Masters down in Pleasanton. The head coaches there are also top-notch (they coach for SRVLA as well), and they might also be able to help. Check out www.trivalleymasters.com or PM me for contact info.
i know 20 miles away from san fransisco is Walnut Creek Masters swim team. My friend used to swim for them, and Chris Lieto used to train with them. They are a good team from what I hear.
