As a whole they have adapted very well, we\u2019re gathering a lot of data so we will have to look in detail at what needs to happen before Rio and make these plans individualised,\u201d Verhaeren said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOverall they are swimming very well in the competition simulations and they\u2019re handling themselves very well and taking good care of themselves and that\u2019s really the base line where we should be. The meal times are very different, the times you rest are very different, but it\u2019s still competition times and if they are focussed they will be ready for whatever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Verhaeren added that the camp was also a great chance for the team to come together and share their learnings with each other in a non-pressure environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is quite unique, we\u2019re bringing the team together in a non-pressure environment, they have more time for each other, they train together, coaches work together in training and I think it\u2019s really important for the bonding within the team, sharing knowledge, knowing that they can help each other is really important going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After settling in to the late night schedule on Monday and Tuesday, the swimmers took to the blocks on Wednesday night for short course racing.<\/p>\n<p>With the theme for the night short, fast and fun, the swimmers were in high spirits and judging by some of their performances, they had adapted well, and the late start had little effect on their performances.<\/p>\n<p>Dual world champion in the 100 and 200m backstroke, <strong>Mitch Larkin<\/strong> made midnight racing look easy when he took out the men\u2019s 100m backstroke (short course) in a time of 49.51. The time was just outside his Australian short course record in the event and faster than his world short course time that saw him win gold in Doha, last December.<\/p>\n<p>Then Cameron McEvoy tested his backstroke skills and recorded a personal best (PB) in the 100 back (51.31) and almost beat his world short course time in the 50m freestyle on the first night of racing.<\/p>\n<p>McEvoy, who won silver in the 100m freestyle at the World Championships, clocked a time of 21.82 for the 50m free.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just did a three second PB in the 100m backstroke tonight so that\u2019s another good sign that everything has been going well,\u201d McEvoy said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the 50m freestyle I almost beat the time that I did at the World Short Course Championships last year in December, so that\u2019s two races in one night where both races are pretty much the best I\u2019ve ever done and they \u2018ve all been done really close to midnight so I guess it\u2019s been pretty good so far!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Team spirits have also been high, with the positive vibe and high energy from the World Championships in Kazan continuing on to the camp here in Canberra.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust to go through such an unusual camp with everyone just brings us all closer together. We\u2019re already good mates with each other and we get on really well, I even think that out camaraderie helps us to adapt quicker. When you\u2019re walking through the dining hall at 1:30 in the morning and you\u2019re having dinner, you\u2019re not doing it alone, you look around and there\u2019s 40\/50 other people there with you.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a great mix of experience on the team, we have some swimmers that are just coming out of the junior ranks, right up to people like <strong>Grant Hackett<\/strong> who have been on the team since the last millennium,\u201d McEvoy said.<\/p>\n<p>With three Olympic Games under his belt, and experience extending back to the \u2018last millennium\u2019, as McEvoy said, on the anniversary of the Sydney 2000 Olympics, Hackett said he was still enjoying the sport and continuing to learn.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s hard to believe that it\u2019s 15 years on, I don\u2019t quite feel that old. It was a great Olympics and to have that opportunity to win an Olympic medal in your own backyard is pretty special and here I am 15 years later still swimming, having a go and really enjoying it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thinking about the prospect of qualifying for Rio, Hackett said it would be an amazing opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat would be pretty unbelievable; it would be my fourth Olympics if I got the opportunity to go to Rio. So I\u2019m training hard at the moment, improving all the time so we\u2019ll just have to wait and see.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The final day of competition on Thursday saw simulated heats from 1pm until 3pm and finals from 10pm until midnight, with broken 50 metre efforts the focus.<\/p>\n<p>Australian champion in the 200m butterfly <strong>Maddie Groves<\/strong> lined up on the blocks alongside the butterfly boys and said racing this time of the year was a challenge but exciting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s good to get a bit of racing in so early in the season, giving an indication of where we are at the moment and where we\u2019re looking to go moving forward. You don\u2019t notice the time, only afterwards when you\u2019re warming down and you see the clock and it is 1am,\u201d Groves said.<\/p>\n<p>Research and learnings from the camp will play a major role in the team\u2019s journey to the Rio Olympic Games and Verhaeren said it will also aid in preparation for the Australian Championships coming up next April.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis will definitely benefit us, because it\u2019s not only preparing us for Rio, it is first and foremost preparing us for trials. We\u2019ve learned a lot during this camp\u2026that is very valuable information regardless if you are swimming at midnight or not. So all in all it is a great kick off in the season and I\u2019m very happy with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Dolphins will next come together at the Australian Short Course Championships at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre from 26 to 28 November 2015.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Swimming World has reported previously about the time schedule for swim competition at the RIO Olympics<\/strong><\/p>\n<article class=\"post entry post-loop clearfix post-130646 type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-featured category-world tag-bronte-campbell tag-cate-campbell\">\n<div class=\"post-loop-wrap\">\n<div class=\"post-detail\">\n<div class=\"post-excerpt\">\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/olympic-athletes-in-peril-2016-late-night-swimming-finals-favors-only-nbc\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/RIO-280x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"post entry post-loop clearfix post-129982 type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-featured category-commentary category-world tag-2016-rio-olympic-games tag-fina tag-ioc tag-nbc-universal tag-usa-swimming\">\n<div class=\"post-loop-wrap\">\n<div class=\"post-detail\">\n<h2 class=\"post-title\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/olympic-athletes-in-peril-2016-late-night-swimming-finals-favors-only-nbc\/\">2016 Rio Olympic Athletes In Peril; Late Night Swimming Finals Favors NBC<\/a><\/h2>\n<div class=\"post-meta\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-meta\"><i class=\"fa fa-clock-o\"><\/i><time datetime=\"2015-03-31T15:23:11+00:00\"><\/time><i>Parts of the above article were sent to Swimming World from Australia as a press release submitted to Swimming World.
