Ron had a limited knowledge of coaching and training techniques beyond distance freestyle swimmers, and the more endurance races like the 400 IM. He produced great distance swimmers, but our sprint team was less than stellar (but came in as great recruits). I'd not suggest a sprinter or stroke swimmer train under him. The team overall was great- very positive and fun teammates. Support of athletes at Seton Hall was fantastic too, and there was definitely a sense of family across all sports. I enjoyed my time as an athlete overall, just had my concerns about the head swim coach's ability to train across the sport.
