A complete roster of camp participants and staff members is now available for both the boys and girls.
“We are proud to be back on site at the USOPC Training Center here in Colorado,” said Mariejo Truex, Senior Director, Team Services, Coach and Athlete Development for USA Swimming. “These camps provide a priceless opportunity for athletes from across the United States to learn from top high-performance professionals and connect with one another, which will help their development both in and out of the water.”
Bolles School Sharks head coach Peter Verhoef will lead the girls team while Performance Aquatics head coach Kathleen Prindle is slated to lead the boys side. Swimmers will experience the routine of a National Team athlete during the three-day camp.
Carmel Swim Club is sending the most swimmers to Colorado Springs with five total while the Florida Swimming Local Swimming committee is the most-represented LSC with eight total. The Southern Zone’s 32 swimmers ranks as the most among zones nationally.
Several current National Team members and 2020 Tokyo Olympians have attended the National Select Camps in the past, including Katie Ledecky, Michael Andrew, Lilly King, Hali Flickinger, Kieran Smith and Bobby Finke.
