BA Athlete and Coach Travel to Olympic Training Center

Chad Dillon

TEAM, good afternoon!

 

I want to briefly draw your attention to an opportunity for one of our athletes and one of our coaches this week.

 

USA Swimming sponsors an annual Zone Select Camp for each of the 4 zones in the U.S. (attached graphic). This year, the Western and Central Zones were grouped together and the top-performing 56 athletes within the zone and between ages 13-15 were invited to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. Our own Rocco Tajc accepted his invitation this year.

 

USA Swimming also invited a coach from each athlete’s home club to take part in activities focused on coach development. Our Coach Jordan Bonfitto accepted that invitation, too!

 

Rocco and Jordan left Indiana this morning and they’ll be in Colorado Springs for 3 days to better themselves and enjoy some new experiences with the best of the rest in our Western and Central Zones. 

 

USA Swimming’s Purpose for the camp is:

  • Introduction to the National Team culture

  • Provide education for better training and performance

  • Offer a unique motivational, inspirational opportunity

  • Provide training with top performers in the Zone

 

We are excited for this opportunity for our team members, and we look forward to them rejoining us at home, soon!
