I like coached swimming, but I don't want my times on the club's ranking board. Is that a reasonable request?

The coach wrote my time beside six other names and drew an arrow where I'd improved. Everyone else seemed pleased to compare. I asked whether mine could stay in my training notes, and he said, "The board is how we keep each other motivated."

I'm an adult swimmer who joined for regular sessions and help with technique. I'm happy for the coach to time a swim and discuss it with me. I just don't enjoy arriving to find my place on a board that everyone checks before getting in.

Nobody has mocked my time. The coach says comparisons help him plan groups, and I don't want him inventing a separate session for me. Another member said she likes seeing someone improve from a starting point similar to hers.

Would asking to keep my individual times off the shared board make coaching harder, or can the club still use the information without displaying it? I want to stay involved without having every session feel like an update to a ranking I never wanted to join.
