Day 3: Today was a great day for performances. Marni Oldershaw, Annie Harrison & Vanessa Treasure all made the A final in 400IM, Matthew Meyers in 200BK & Chantal VanLandenham in 50FR. Aly Abdel Khalik, Blake Worsely & the Swanston Brothers made B finals. It was a great day for Team Ontario. I am really feeling comfortable working with my group of athletes and feel like they are swimming well overall. I got to talk with a lot of coaches and (oddly) met a couple of podcast fans. It was also kind of cool that a few American coaches recognized me and congratulated me on my new job... but thats neither here nor there. On to some pics for you...
