Video: A Day at Olympic Camp w/ Calvyn Justus & the South African Team

Who ever said that training for the Olympics was all about work? In South African Olympic team member Calvyn Justus‘s latest video, the Olympic team members spend their time outside the pool bodysurfing, watching rocket launches at Cape Canaveral, hunting down Pokemon, and trying to win a MacBook in a high-tech claw machine.

Near the end of Justus’s vlog (7:10), he introduces viewers to the other members of the team (minus Matthew Meyer, who apparently is training at home), which include Dylan Bosch, Chad le Clos, Christopher Reid, Myles Brown, Sebastien Rousseau, Michelle Weber (who will compete in the open water 10k, but is training with the pool team), Jarred Crous, Michael Meyer, Cameron van der Burgh, Douglas Erasmus, and Brad Tandy.

Justus has amassed quite a following for his swimming adventures, with well over 37,000 YouTube subscribers.

Before coming to Cocoa Beach, the team traveled to Fort Lauderdale (a trip which Justus vloged here). Last week, he also posted a video documenting more of the trip and some of the South African team members’ Pokemon Go addiction (embedded below).

OMG OMG OMG!
What’s Le Clos doing playing at the beach?
Shouldn’t he focus on his training and swimming!
I’m such a huge fan girl of his and I don’t want him to lose in Rio!!!

That’s what he chose to do with his time in between training. Phelps chooses to do Facebook videos with his time in between training. I don’t see anything wrong with it.
