Anyone know how swimmers were chosen/ applied for the High Performance Camp? I remember seeing something about this several years ago and if I remember right there were a very limited amount of spaces and the selection was based on your times/ top 10 places.
Just curious. From the article it sounded like a great opportunity and a lot of fun.
I have read this thread with some interest and curiosity.
The title is "high performance camp." In the racing world, there is a saying that will translate pretty well here, "speed costs money. How fast do you want to go?"
Even if you only want to improve your efficiency, which will give you speed whether or not you care and which will also keep your injury rate down, it is worth the money paid. It is also a vacation, of sorts. Unless you live in Greensboro.
If you have trouble with the cost, don't apply. If you were accepted, your trip would be tempered by the constant penny counting and comparison shopping. You are there to learn how to be efficient and fast. It is not a huge profit center, but if it makes money maybe it will continue to happen.
