I love swimming deeply i do, ive competed before like but like most of the olympic swimmers today they loved it that much they took it further, well i want to do the same except for my club is not training enough to help me reach this high level, because there isn't enough volunteers they can only train for one hour a week for one day a week, i train on different days by myself but its much bette having a professional ther tellin you what you are doing wrong, so if i want to be an olympian i don't know even where to start? help please?

Most people consider the club I coach at is the best place for future Olympians to start. Let me know when you're ready to join.

So, how many olympians <i>exactly</i> have you coached? and how many have come though your club? and who are these "most people"?

Come on now, don't be modest, it's so unlike you ;)

Would it be possible for you to change clubs to one that had training more often...?
[and hmm, not a club in Scotland!]

do you live a long way out from a major town where there would be a bigger club that would offer more sessions?
