Substitute Teacher Week

Coach Bill is on vacation, and since we have not seen any terrible news stories about manatee/human disasters while swimming, I assume all is okay. This week we have substitute coaches on deck, and Heather was our coach this morning. But we quickly realized there was a difference between substitute teachers when we were in school and substitute coaches. For one, if we don't do the workout exactly, the sub coach doesn't really care. We were not compelled to get up at 5:30am and the law does not require us to stay in the pool for a certain amount of time. Two, if we misbehave or talk back (or, in this case, roll our eyes at a 400 kick set) to the sub coach, we probably won't be sent to the pool manager's office and our parents won't be called. Finally, we will likely have to face that person in the pool the next day as they are a fellow swimmer, whereas the substitute teacher never re-joined the class when the teacher came back. And to that point, it works both ways. The sub coach does not want to give a terrible or really tough workout because they are one of us! It was sprint day, and we sprinted.
