Doc,
I am stepping a little out of my lane.......but, I do have some experience around water. The QP's have told you to swim. You do not need a swim instructor or coach. You are not working on your turns and starts. You are working on your endurance and muscle development.
How many accomplished runners waited around for a coach or instructor?
You are losing valuable time. 50 meters is not nearly enough to make you an accomplished swimmer. That is a minimum standard. Go to the pool, lake or river and swim. Nice slow pace for 30 minutes. rest as needed. When you can do a 30 minute swim without needing a rest..........you are ready.
My Credentials: My daugher was a 5 time All American and Team Captain on her College team. Her specialty was the mile. Her dad had her swimming lakes, rivers, and pools, without a stop watch or concern for technique at the formative stages.
