Penn State Swim Camp - Day 2

Kendra
I got up at 6:15 AM and ate breakfast around 7:15 AM. You get to pick your own breakfast as it is a buffet. We practiced in the indoor pool for the early afternoon session where we worked on dives and drills. This was split up in the racing pool and diving well. Had some instructio on nutrition. Also talked about controlling stress when going up to the block. Had protein drinks last night and tonight, kinda disgusting.
Even the diving well is used during the swim camps to practice some of the finer points of racing

Swam in the outdoor pool in the morning. Swam widths, which was 25 meters. Did alot of dryland stuff, such as jumping jacks, curl-ups, and running in place. Kendra and I went to the creamery during free time after dinner. Afterwards, we watched some of the older kids play volleyball. We buried ourselves in the sand after the game. We plan on going to the pool during free time to jump off the high dives. I like living in the dorms but the heat during the day is really bad. It really cools down at night though.

Every day we work on a different stroke, did backstroke today. I really had to pay attention as that is my stroke. I picked up some good tips. Backstrokers are not supposed to be on their back most of the time but on their sides. We also worked on arm movement as it leaves the water and re-enters. Dorms are kinda cozy, not big or fancy. Could add a TV. My roommate Pat, is from Illiois. Did relays for fun today. One relay consisted of swimming mostly underwater. Another relay consisted of cups with Gatorade and hoping not to spill any as we swam. We are hoping to play capture the flag on Wednesday night. Played a volleyball game tonight that ended up with everyone jumping onto the sand court and kicking the ball.
