Bennett Goes to Camp

Bennett Glasscock is attending the Texas Longhorn Swim Camp in Austin, Texas. This is Eddie Resse's camp who is the head coach at NCAA champs Texas and Olympic head coach . The swimmers wasted no time Sunday with them hitting the water for the first practice. Not only is this a camp all about technique its a training camp so the swimmers train every morning.

Eddie giving his opening talk to the swimmers. The swimmers are placed into four groups based on their age and times. Bennett is placed in the "Blue" group which is the fastest, so far hes had to work hard to keep up.

A typical day right now is:

8:00 Breakfast, 8:30 Dry land, 9:30 6000 meters long course (ouch), 12:00 Lunch, 1:30 Stroke Drills, 3:30 - 5:30 Free time (nap), 5:30 Dinner, 6:30 Texas Relays (fun) and underwater analysis, then lights out at 10:30.

Coach Reese explaining the workout to the swimmers. He is very involved in every aspect of the camp and talks to the swimmers one on one, explaining always what they are doing and why.

Aaron Piersol did a backstroke clinic. One common theme is the underwater swimming. Very nice guy and personable.

Ian Crocker is in the house! All strokes covered who else to do a butterfly clinic? Another super guy and by the way ... tall ... He spent much of his time talking about underwater dolfining how you start with powerful kicks then sharp quick kicks as you surface. Hand placement is critical. Seemed a few of the parents almost fell over the rails of the peanut gallery for some reason. The swimmers had a meet and greet with the Olympians last night.

More later, how did the inter squad go? Update coming, hope we got some pictures.
