Blog 1551: Camp day 7





The last day on camp :( . Some very sad swimmers who have had an amazing time had their last day on camp today. Tomorrow we fly home. Today started with a 2k kick set for groups b and c and then everyone in for a Pyramid Sprint challenge set. Some cracking morning swims given how tired the swimmers were. This afternoons Cross fit challenge set loomed heavy on the minds and then in a moment of madness I challenge the squad to do a 17 x 50m free relay against their short course times setting them a target of 9:40 to get out of the cross fit challenge. Some amazing swims saw the swimmers come in on time of 8:46 with 12 of the 17 beating their short course pb's and the other 5 beating their long course times. The cross fit was scrapped and replaced by the harlem shake and some recovery stuff, even I joined the swimmers for a paddle. This has been a massive learning curve for the swimmers and they have all taken a lot away from it. So here's to the next one and many more to follow.
