Team,
In just a few week, Olympians will be visiting Connecticut and I
encourage anyone who has time to check this event out.
Coach Ryan
Norwalk, CT on January 16,
2010- http://www.swimchampions.com/detail/norwalk-ct/
The hosts for the Connecticut event are 17-time NCAA
All-American Adam Ritter; the first female African American to make
the U.S. Olympic Team and win a medal: Maritza Correia; and 5-time
Olympic Medalist and 3-time Olympian Klete Keller.
Coaches and parents are invited to the events at no charge!
On the day of the event you can expect unique sessions that
break away from the standard “clinic” format.
There is at least an hour and a half of swimming at the
events and the Olympians on this tour focus on creating a fun,
interactive and inspirational environment for swimmers age 5 to 18
to further their love of the sport. Take a look at this video on
the tour’s web site: http://www.swimchampions.com.
Below are the highlights of the events:
High Energy Fun in the Water: The kids are in the water for
approximately an hour and a half. The time in the water is
very high energy. There is drill, but a lot of racing and
high tempo fun. So, the kids are having a great time and the
parents are very entertained. Kids wear the Olympians' medals and
take photos
8x10 Photos: Parents can take their own photos, however, during
the event, if parents choose, the tour prints out 8x10s of the
photos of the kids wearing the Olympians’ medals
Free Gifts: T-shirt, Swim Cap, Powerbar, Chocolate #9, Ultra
Swim Shampoo and more!
Souvenir Program: The Tour gives away a special 64-page souvenir
program
Olympians Speak to Parents and Kids: For the first 20 to 30
minutes of the event the Olympians split up and speak with the
parents and kids separately as well as open it up for Q&A.
The Olympians then switch so that both parents and kids get
to hear the stories and messages of each Tour Athlete.
Autograph and Photograph Session: The last 45 minutes consists
primarily of autographs and photographs with the Olympians.
