Description
Spring Training
Camp is being set up by the staff at this time. The
location will be in Fort Lauderdale, FL at Pine Crest School.
The plan is to train over spring break (March 26-April 5
approx) so that little or no school is missed. Swimmers going
to the camp will take their mid-season break March 15-21, unless
they qualify for a Provincial Tour Team (North/South Dual Meet
or BC/AB Dual Meet), then they will break later. Some swimmers
may use this as a preparation camp for Spring Nationals and take
their mid season break after that. This will be worked out on
an individual basis.
The theme of the camp is
early spring season training in preparation for the spring and
summer meets. This will include dry-land activities and team
outings. After a long winter, taking the team to a sunny
location to train outdoors for 10 days, will jump start their
spring and summer season.
This camp is by invite only
and swimmers need to be at an Age Group National standard level and
above to attend. Other considerations will be commitment,
attitude and performance levels. Swimmers not at the
Age Group National standard will be considered if they meet the
above considerations.
Swimmers will be expected to
cook and take care of themselves at this camp. A manager
will attend but will be there to assist only. If
necessary, cooking classes and how to shop for groceries can
be arranged prior to departure. This camp is intended to help
the swimmers mature and take the next step in their swimming
career.
The cost of the camp will be
in the range of $1800 to $2400 and will depend on flight and
accommodation expenses. A subsidy for this event will be
available. If you have any questions about this camp, please
contact your group coach. The deadline to sign-up is
February 5, 2010. The sooner members
sign-up the sooner we can make plans and keep expenses
down.
We will provide members with more
information as it comes available.
