Camp questions?

Ari is in a bit of flux as to what she should focus on at camp. She has spent the whole of this season trying to do all different events and distances and would like to be more focussed this coming year. Her current thinking is 50/100/200 breast and 200 free. Which group would this put her in? (I realise in an ideal world she would have this conversation with her coach. He has been less of a grumpy pants lately but doesn't seem particularly interested in Ari's focus. That made sense this year, to enable her not to stress and fixate but it is hard to properly excel when you haven't trained for a specific event. ) Would either @David Karasek or @Yul Münger be able to help advise her? She is around in Tenerife before the start of the camp but I am conscious that the team may be needing some down time to recharge between the two camps so would potentially not want to have a meeting etc. .

@Mags Pellow Are you in Tenerife before the camp starts? Ari and I are already here so I plan to touch base with David later today and see when he has time for a pow wow. We walked across to Hovima on Wednesday evening and David and Yul gave Ari such a warm welcome. I felt quite emotional. It's lovely to know that she has people who care about her as a person as well as being truly supportive of her swim journey ❤️ Just got to get her moving a bit now. She hasn't trained since finishing Nationals on Sunday 2 Aug. Definitely needed a proper rest but now time to wake the muscles up again. 💪🏻
Welsh Summer Nationals 2026
⚠️ Extremely Long Post⚠️ (not as long as the competition 🤦) Sorry not sorry Over the last 5 days, I've been racing at the Welsh Summer Nationals. I entered 7 races and was then selected for a relay, but ended up swimming 14 races due to finals qualifications. Day 1: 200 free Heats - I was a little nervous before this but mainly because it was the first race, it went ok and I swam a 2:19.33. This was 2 seconds off my best, but was a solid first swim and got me into the final. Final - I swam a 2:17.28, which was a pb by 0.02. Still a pb though! I raced it well, and went out harder than I usually would (1:06.5). This was better than almost even splitting which is my usual performance 🤦 50 breast Heats - I went straight from 200 free cool down to 50 breast marshalling so was living in the chaos. I wasn't nervous for this, and swam a 37.40, a pb by 0.03 from when I was absolutely on fire at 13. Final - Swam a 37.29, another 0.11 off of my time 😊 In both heats and finals, I counted my strokes and compared it to my 50 breast swims at winter nationals. I swam both races in a quicker time with less strokes, which is a positive (my stroke has become more efficient). Day 2: 200 breast Heats - I was really nervous before this, but didn't have a panic attack which is a big positive. I kept my stroke technique, and swam a seasons best (2:58.55). Final - I was nowhere near as nervous before the final. I swam it 6 milliseconds slower (2:58.61), but I raced it much better, splitting my first 100 2 seconds quicker than in the heat. I died on the last 50 though which is a shame, because I was on track for about a 2:55 😔 Still happy though! Day 3: 200 IM Heats - A bit nervous before this, but once again no panic attack. My backstroke split wasn't very good, but my fly was decent and my breast and free were good. Made up ground on the rest of my heat. Swam a 2:40.46. Final - Not as nervous, and swam a 2:38.95. My fly and back split was better, and my breast and free were the same. This still wasn't a pb, but I was content anyway.

@Mags Pellow Are you coming out to Tenerife with her?

@Mags Pellow certainly am. We fly out next Monday so have a week in Costa Adeje before camp starts. Then I am staying in a hotel 5 mins walk from the camp hotel for the next 2 weeks. What date do you fly out?

Ari was super anxious last year and basically hid behind me on day 1 at orientation but she found her way and met some lovely people. This year she is super excited and much more confident. She cannot wait to get there 😁
