2010 USA Swimming, Southern Zone Select Camp Reflections

 

My experience at the Zone Select Camp was awesome! From meeting people in North and South Carolina all the way to Florida!  We did USA cheers and racing that really made us feel at home.  The coaches based everything on USA and told us to "forget" our home team and focus on what team USA is all about. It was a very eye-opening experience.  All the kids there were extremely fast and it made training a lot tougher. It made you go hard every time you got in the pool no matter what your excuse was that day.  We had tons of long meetings before both practices everyday, and although they were kind of lengthy, I still think I got a lot out of them.  We did some fun stuff like going to a AAA baseball game and even seeing who could throw the ball the fastest.  We hung out with friends, played ultimate frisbee, hide n' go-seek, and even capture the flag.  It was only a 4 day trip, but it defiantly changed how I view other swimmers in the country.  It opened my eyes to see how and what you have to do to make other camps throughout the USA. It was defiantly a life changing experience for me!

I was chosen to travel up to Louisville Kentucky for the Southern Zone Select Camp this year.  It was a great learning experience for me personally.  I was blessed to have great friends from the Gulf region and also a great coach from PACK at the camp with me.  My favorite part about the camp was that I got to practice with the best of the best in the southern zone.  I got to meet swimmers from El Paso, Texas to Charlotte, North Caroline.  I was able to practice and race with them, and saw how they handled staying positive during a painful practice.  I was also able to see how all these swimmers were just as tired as I was and never showed it...never complained...they just did what they had to do.  At the camp I found a new mind set for my workouts.  When I'm broken down and tired, I now have the mental capacity to prevent a set from beating me down.  We started and ended the main set with our best effort day after day after day.  I believe that mind set will take any swimmer to the next level of success.  There was also a great team environment at practice, and back at the dorm when we had free time to hangout.  The last day we were told to split up into two teams (USA. Men and USA. Women), and we had to do a test set.  As one heat was swimming, the people not swimming were not just sitting around watching...they were yelling at the end of pool.  Each group was on the sides screaming and cheering for their team.  When I got up on the block, and saw all of my teammates cheering for me, it really made such a big difference...a lesson we can all learn for practice and meets!

What a tremendous experience!  From discussions with other coaches across the country, to working with some of USA Swimming's best, I really enjoyed my time in Kentucky.  I was so proud to watch our PACK athletes represent our club and LSC with such a high level of respect and responsibility.  While running workouts and talking with other coaches, it was nice to know that our philosophy of technique, training, and progression is at the very forefront of USA Swimming.  My main message that I took to the camp, and hopefully sent home with all of the athletes, was all about respect.  And at the end of the camp, almost all of the swimmers were walking up to each coach...shaking their hand...and thanking them for practice.  Amazing!  I've come back with contacts, ideas, and information...but mostly, I've come back proud of what we're doing right here at Premier Aquatics.  Here's to our future!
