Next Gen & HP Camp
An email was sent out today at noon with the lists for the Next Gen and HP camp mentioned in the table above. I am looking into a couple folks on their placement within the lists, but it will not affect anyone's ability to attend the camp.
If your swimmer is interested in attending the camp, please register them by February 6th (info on Swim NB website).
Tim Ponting will be leading the camp! He is a former Olympic medalist swimmer, competing in 3 Olympics, and he's got some crazy crazy stories of his time in swimming. This is an amazing opportunity to swim with him and learn some new things!
As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
Talk soon,
Britt
