BRETT Hawke, head coach at Auburn Swimming and Diving, has landed in London as part of Team Bahamas, with Olympics 2012 swimming hopeful Arianna Vanderpool-Wallace, as he reflects in a column for The Tribune he filed from the UK:
Arianna and I (Team Bahamas!) started the day off in Atlanta. We boarded British Airways Flight 226 at 9:30pm. We landed in London around 11am and spent 45 minutes in a taxi travelling to our pre-Olympic camp in Sussex.
We met up with a few other members of the Bahamas track team, who are attending the same camp, for lunch and then headed into the training pool for our first workout.
No time to rest, we had work to do!
The first session went well, with Arianna swimming a few thousand metres of light swimming with a few speed drills mixed in.
The first workout after a long flight just needs to be light, and this one did the trick!
Now it’s just fighting off the jet-lag to stay awake.
The worst thing is waking up at 3am on the first night! Goodnight!
There will be more from Brett and Team Bahamas from London, with exclusive reports and pictures every day in The Tribune.
