I'm trying

My coach yelled at our lane today. I know sometimes some of the people in my lane talk after a set and then miss what the next set will be. They often ask me because I usually know what's going on. So, today, after a long hard set in which I and another swimmer finished, but in which the other swimmers stopped before us because we almost lapped them, things got a little confusing. Anyway, so while they were waiting for us two to finish they started talking. When I finished the set I looked up on the white board and saw what to do next, and I started. But after 50 metres coach stopped us even though we had another 50 to go. He said the other lanes were finished because they had been listening and that we were talking too long and so our time was limited. But that's not true. So I called him on it. Just said, "But we we went as soon as we finished the set. " And that's when he yelled at us. It was very uncomfortable and unfortunate because he is usually a great coach and a nice guy. And we are adults and really don't put up with anyone yelling at us. So what if we're a little social? So what if we don't exactly finish all the sets? A couple of lengths here and there isn't going to make a big difference. Anyway, I was so put off about it all that I got out early and didn't even say goodbye. Swimming is supposed to be a stress release not cause it. We're not Olympic swimmers, we don't need that kind of attitude to improve.

All I can think is that maybe he was tired and maybe something happened at home that made him flip out.
