We had Penn State’s sports nutritionist talk to us today. Works with 28 PSU sport’s teams. Talked about good foods to eat before and after swimming. We played a game about foods that contained carbohydrates and proteins in breakfast, lunch and dinner. Very interesting and I learned alot. Played two team building/warm-up games today. Blob tag, where you run around on land and try to make your blob bigger. The other one was tunnel tag. If you get tagged, then you had to stand up. The only way you could get free was if someone crawled under your legs. We have three practices a day in the water. The outside one was cut short because of a storm and had to run around for our bags.
Two practices a day are held in the Natatorium while one practice is held at the outside pool

We got up at 6:15 AM, ate breakfast, came back to the room, and took a nap from 7:00 AM - 8:15 AM. Really tired. Took another nap right after dinner around 5:00 PM. We were tired. Gabbie's breaststroke is now legal

Breaststroke Day. We learned that when kicking in breaststroke, most people bring knees up to the chest, not supposed to do that as it causes more drag. Supposed to kick our butt. So we did a drill where we swam with our hands on our butt and try to kick hands while swimming. Today at lunch, we had breaded, fried chicken - really good. In free time we played soccer out in the courtyard with sport campers from football, tennis, and golf. Alot of kids and really fun. Today we talked with one person about nutrition, protein. Everyday, we swim three times with the night session a fun one. Tonight we played a game they call King of the Hill but I call it Elimination. There are four groups; girls 12-and-under, girls 13-and-over, boys 12-and-under, boys 13-and-over. Swimmers in each group compete against each other in drills where everybody swims. Last one into the wall in each heat is eliminated. This goes on until one person is left in each category.
