After a successful season we enjoyed a short family vacation, back into the pool.
I was accepted into a programme up at SFU called the Olympic Prospect camp. It started September 15th 2010. We workout 2 times a week: Tuesday and Thursday from 615PM-730PM.
There are very experienced coaches, Dylan and Liam.
The workout starts with dry land training for 15mins, next we get in the water and crank it up. The workouts are not nearly as intense as they were in the summer but very technical.The coaches are showing us new ways to do drills that will make us faster swimmers. This season we focused on 4 main things: 4 dolphin kicks off your start and turns, perfect break-outs off your starts and turns (no breathing for at least 2 strokes), at least 4 kicks per stroke rotation in Freestyle, and lastly how to be crazy fast off the blocks.
I get to compete in 4 swim meets over the winter against winter teams and my next one is this weekend. I have trained very hard over the past few months and have learned alot.
Ummm it's getting late and I'm getting tired and I wish it was summer so I wouldn't have to write this BLOG. All kidding aside I gotta go See ya!
Stay tuned
