Swimming Camp Success
Organised by Jenny Glossop, Northumberland Sport’s Swimming Development Officer and hosted by Willowburn Leisure Centre in Alnwick, 33 young people (aged 9-12) from clubs across Northumberland came together to par take in a 2 day Northumberland Talent ID Camp. These young swimmers were selected by their coaches to attend the camp as a result of their commitment and potential in the sport.
The two days proved to be a huge hit with participants, comprising of team building activities, motivational talks from Nick Gillingham MBE, pool sessions, land based training with Ross Graham (international Gymnast and fitness guru), nutritional talks, as well as skill acquisition, Long Tern Athlete Development (LTAD) and self analysis workshops.
The two days culminated in a Mini gala where swimmers competed, putting all the skills they had learnt over the 2 days together in an effort to achieve personal best times. Many managed to actually achieve this goal and all took something away from the camp, making them one step closer to reaching their potential and dreams in swimming.
