It's the coach's job to take the time and figure out what's best for their team and swimmers. There are five philosophies coaches use to induce a best time. Each tier requires more work and focus for the coach. It also requires more work and focus for the swimmer. As swimming has advanced over time (video feedback, lactate testing, periodization, exercise physiology, technique, not to mention the sheer size and strength of current Olympians), coaching has advanced to match the demands of the sport.
