Lanzarote - Day One

Team points kicked off straight away with Matt M earning a point for the healthiest breakfast (fresh fruit and natural yoghurt). On the baggage weigh in, Tyler -1 point for heaviest bag 22.9kg and +1 point for Sarah and Danny for lightest bags 16.1kg. Bonus point for josh for weighing in at exactly 20.0kg.

Not quite the weather we were hoping for - very windy and about 16 degrees for the first pool session meant some very chilly swimmers! We have been assured that by the weekend the wind will have gone and it will 21+ degrees for the rest of the camp.

Tonight's pool session was intended to be a nice gentle loosen after the journey but developed into "a race for whoever can get this done the fastest so we can get out and have a hot shower" by all swimmers. Nevertheless a 4500m session should set them up nicely for a quality heart rate/race pace set in the morning.

The teams are all set to go in competition with each other: Team TAB led by Tyler, Captain Kane and the Mighty Pirates with Kane as captain obviously and The Smurfs captained by Matt S.

All the swimmers have settled well into their rooms, food has been good with plenty of healthy choices to keep our nutritionist happy - no trans fats in sight!!! However, when Hannah found a supply of shot glasses in her room she promised they would not be put to use.........

Look out for tomorrows blog post coming from Kevin, Jimmy, Josh and Harry. Photos will be added as soon as one of the swimmers shows us coaches how to upload them using an iPad!!!!
