It was a great weekend in Grande Prairie for Syd, Sarah, and Jo this weekend. Along with me we ventured to the IM, breast and distance free camp on Friday to do some great training and to take in as much as we all could. The report from the coaches at the camp was that our three swimmers were all very coachable and should be very excited to swim fast this long course season, each receiving various prizes over the weekend for great skills, leadership and ability to take in new information and apply it to their strokes.
I was very lucky to attend this camp and will be applying the information that I learned within every practice. The main focus of the camp was efficiency and always swimming with good skills all the time. Something that we have been focusing on in practice since the switch of seasons. Also I am going to pass on the information and the execution of the skills but it is up to you as swimmers to use them all the time. I am not in the water for you!
Remember to takes more energy to do a slow turn than a fast one!
