Swimming Australia’s Olympic Team has been practicing at Auburn University in Alabama, while making final preparations for the Rio Olympic Games.<\/p>\n
“For Australia\u2019s southern groups, like Victorians, Craig Jackson\u2019s<\/b> Melbourne Vicentre squad and Rohan Taylor\u2019s<\/b> Nunawading team, the chance to get away from Melbourne\u2019s inclement winter weather has allowed them to enjoy the American summer and an uninterrupted preparation,” according to Swimming Australia.<\/p>\n
While practicing together in the same location, the team has had the opportunity to perfect relay exchanges. Coach\u00a0Michael Bohl\u00a0<\/strong>explained the importance of this training and the time the team is spending together:<\/p>\n “They\u2019ve got to be there for each other, they\u2019ve got each other\u2019s backs. They\u2019ve got to try and pull together; we\u2019ve only got 12 days until the meet starts, so for the next 12 days every time we get up and do relay changeovers they\u2019ve got to make sure they\u2019re pulling together as a group, but also in the dining hall when they\u2019re sitting around. I think having that group dynamic for those relays is really important.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The 37 swimmer team will leave Auburn on Sunday and get to swim in Rio for the first time on Monday morning.<\/p>\n Photo Gallery:<\/p>\n This slideshow requires JavaScript.<\/p> Swimming Australia’s Olympic Team has been practicing at Auburn University in Alabama, while making final preparations for the Rio Olympic Games. “For Australia\u2019s southern groups, like Victorians, Craig Jackson\u2019s Melbourne<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":77,"featured_media":213940,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,10],"tags":[50558,1817,42666,54419,16489,6725,271],"class_list":["post-213952","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-world","tag-2016-rio-olympic-games","tag-auburn","tag-delly-carr","tag-photo-gallery","tag-staging-camp","tag-swimming-australia","tag-training-camp"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"\r\n
