Hi its Lauren here, and we are now on the flight to New York. Camp was heaps of fun! I loved meeting lots of different people from different countries. They all loved us Australians and on the first night they were like “ I never knew Australians would be so much fun.” They loved the way we talked but we did have disagreements about the way you pronounced different words like Cara! Also they call lollies, suckers which we found kind of funny. Some were even crying when they were leaving camp.
Working with the Olympians was really cool as well. They are so nice and very funny. They were making me laugh 24/7 and just really nice guys. They helped us heaps one on one with our strokes and turns which was great. They also were really friendly when we asked for pictures with them and there signatures. Tash and I also got underwater pictures with them which was so cool and then they put me in their swim cap and lifted me up out of the water. It’s hard to explain but when you see the picture you will get it!
We all are having heaps of fun and cant believe the trip is nearly finished. We heard Melbourne is 14 degrees and we don’t want to come home. But we miss you heaps!!!!
Love Lauren xo J
Hi everyone it’s Ruby, as Lauren said we are on our way to New York! Camp was amazing and everyone had a really fun time. It was really good to work with Neil Walker, Ian Crocker, Chris Kemp and Drew Mackay as they helped us both in and out of the pool. I really enjoyed Neil and Ian talking to us about their swimming careers and what they went through to get to the level they did. It was really good as we could relate to what they were saying.
I hope the weather is warming up for us when we get back!
Love Ruby xoxo
Hey y’all, this is max speaking. I’m sure that you know by know from reading the other guys blogs we are on our way to New York. Swim camp was lots of fun and was an amazing experience. We all got to meet heaps of nice people as well as getting our training done. Neil, Chris, Ian and Drew all ran skills sessions for us between training sessions. It was an awesome opportunity to work with world-class athletes one on one. Ian and Neil shared the story of their swimming career and what they had been through.
We are all enjoying ourselves a lot and the weather is delicious!!
Not looking forward to cold Melbourne weather L

Hey y’all,
It’s Chuck here. We’re on our way to New York! Camp was fun, but we were still training hard. We had to fit in an extra session yesterday because of our shortened training time in New York. It was also really good to be able to work with guys like Ian, Neil and Chris. They were all super helpful and super kind, happy to do anything that will help your swimming. The weather was nice, we were cruising at about 90 degrees Fahrenheit, or about 30 Celsius. Soaking it up before we come back to freezing Melbourne.
Hope all is well and everyone is training well,
Chuck
Hi, it’s Ivan.
We are now flying to New York. The camp in Biloxi including skill sessions and hard trainings was very important for all swimmers. Naturally it is a very good experience not only in swimming as a physical work but also mentally. Thanks to our coaches and Olympians! Stories of Neil Walker and Ian Crocker could help guys and girls to find their own way to success through serious mental preparation, which has a very-very big part in sport.
There was a lot of fun in the camp and everywhere around it, once in the shop a salesgirl asked me if I’m from Africa. I look like a guy from Africa maybe J. Dave tried to learn some new Russian words, it was not very difficult for him. But nobody could say my last name right J.
It is a great experience for all us to make this trip and train in different pools, climates, and also to see different interesting places.
That’s all and don’t forget your water bottles J
Hey everyone it’s Tom,
