Up at 6am for a jog to the pool, the swimmers all took part in the early morning session.

A bit of rain first thing, didn’t dampen the spirits, as it was back to the hotel for breakfast, where Kieran Dale set a record of eating 22 pancakes.

A bit of downtime saw most enjoynthe sun by the pool

Before another lunch feast of pasta, paella, chicken, pork and pizza.

Once ready it was time for the first afternoon land warm up of the trip, lead by our Strength & Conditioning coach, Arthur

Straight into the pool after for a tough afternoon set, where swimmers started to show signs of tiredness and suntans.

Back to the gym, where the group was split for some stretching and weights

Everyone now knowing what it feels like to be on a swim camp, it was back to the hotel for dinner and evening entertainment of murder mystery

Prizes for the day went to:-

Wally of the day – Kieran Dale (for so many temp tattoos and pancakes)

Swimmer of the day – Stephanie Panteli

Tenerife Day 1

Published February 12, 2017 Uncategorized Leave a Comment

Early hours of Saturday morning the team set off from Hartsdown travelling through snow to get to Gatwick. Unfortunately one of the team’s alarm failed, but despite the mad dash, the whole team boarded out Norwegian airlines flight to Tenerife.

A great flight was enjoyed by all with cartoons and videos being shown

On arrival it was 24 degrees sunny weather, just what the doctor ordered. Checking in at the hotel, we had time for a team meeting before getting into our rooms.

Lunch was the usual delights of pasta, steak, chicken, salads, potatoes and fruit. With full bellys, it was time for some exercise and a walk up to the pool.

A nice gentle ease into the week was followed by a lovely dinner, before early nights for all.
