Hey man, we're in Cayman!
After a delay in Miami, we've arrived in Cayman to beautiful tropical heat and amazing Caribbean hospitality.
Thanks so much to the welcoming host families who stayed up late to collect us from the airport.
The kids headed straight home for a good night's sleep after their long adventure, and to get ready... to be on TV this morning!!
Bethany was terrific... a real media darling! And of course Dave got a few words in about swimming as well!
Off to the beach now for a wake up swim...
Where we found our team who just happened to be swimming past the Mackay's beautiful beach front home...
How about those way funky bathers!
The Aussies are definitely the talk of the town, with an article in today's paper titled "Olympians at Pool" followed by a photo of our Eugene Tee. All are looking very strong and ready for racing in the world's best sea swim tomorrow!
Now we're off to lunch, generously hosted by Mr. Frankie Flowers. Will get more photos as our swimmers enjoy their VIP lunch with visiting Olympians.
PS - A special thank you to Perri and Drew who did an absolutely amazing job with the kids in transit for the last two days. They kept the water bottles filled, hands detol-ed and everyone focused and having fun. We couldn't be luckier to have such a supportive and professional coaching team around us...

Hi SP Team,
ReplyDeleteThose Funkys look great, add some crystal clear Cayman water and they look even better.
Like your neck pillow Tom, pink looks good on you! Look after Cam and remind him not to get lost with Drew in the Open water!
Have fun, Swim well
Love Andy, Mike and Eileen
