Tuesday was Backstroke day at CAL U swim camp. We started with a very detailed classroom lecture and had a great morning session in the pool.
I had a special surprise for the campers as my good friend and 2000 Olympic Gold Medalist B.J. Bedford Miller called to give the kids some helpful tips. B.J. won her Gold Medal swimming the Backstroke leg of the 4x100 Medley Relay (the relay also set a World Record).
She talked to the camp about the importance of having a tight core, a good body roll, and being sure to have a good hand placement during the power phase.
The swimmers literally were hanging on every word.
We wrapped up the day finishing Backstroke and beginning our Week 3 Swim Camp Survivor.
