It is always exciting to have new campers come to camp. They are raw talent, ready to learn and improve. Tonight we started very simple. I went back to my roots and did some floating, very similar to what I witnessed years ago at the Olympic Training Center. Coach Bill Boomer showed a group of coaches how everyone floats different and how that can be a "tell" as to what that swimmer will do well. 22 swimmers...22 different floaters but each somewhat grouped.
After some floating we started at square 1 with Streamling. WOW...it is so exciting to watch kids improve something so simple yet so important to their swimming careers. Through some on deck positioning drills and more reinforcement in the water a great session was the result.
I love the look that swimmers get on their faces when you see potential and tell them that after this week, great things will be in their futures.
Let the fun begin.
Coach Scott
