Last week, the road to Rio wound its way through North Carolina. The four-day 2015 Arena Pro Swim Series at Charlotte featured world-class competition and, off on the sidelines, a world-class training pool. Our Endless Pools® High-Performance pool welcomed swimmers for warm-ups and impromptu coaching sessions.
From SwimMAC Team Elite, Arianna Vanderpool-Wallace and Olympic gold medalists Tyler Clary, Kirsty Coventry, Cullen Jones, and Ryan Lochte all spent time doing some last-minute stroke refinement in our pool.
Also taking on our High-Performance current were Olympic gold medalists Conor Dwyer and Breeja Larson, Olympic medalist César Cielo, NCAA Champion Josh Schneider, and 15-year-old sensation Reece Whitley.
Jessica Hardy, also a 2012 Olympic gold medalist, stopped by to let us know that she’s been using USC’s Endless Pools Elite model regularly for recovery and stroke analysis.
We wish all the athletes the very best in their pursuit of Olympic gold in 2016!
