SwimSask Distance Camp

Hello TEAM,

This past Saturday we had one of our LASER athletes, Max Zhao, attend the Provincial Distance Camp along with Coach Chris. This camp was a great opportunity for selected athletes to spend the day with some of the provinces best distance swimmers, hear a great nutrition talk from the always interesting and informative sports nutritionist, Heather Hynes, as well as get a talk and in-water training session with Provincial Coach Alex and 2016 Olympian Emily Overholt!

Our TEAM goal will be to increase the number of athletes from the LASERS that get to attend these great opportunities (provincial camps). As listed above this camp's selection was based on 800FR and 1500FR events - giving athletes another reason to step out of their comfort zones and try the longer/harder races. The athletes day unfolded as such:

Overall the camp was a valuable experience for all and we came back with a few key points to work on for Max going forward in regards to his distance free. Now back to the pool and back to the grind, as the count-down to our LASERS Long Course meet begins!!!
